| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We proposed methods for making intended shapes by folding a flat sheet material and making the shapes flat-foldable. We implemented the methods on a computer for evaluation. In order to make an three-dimensional shape flat-foldable, we approximated the given three-dimensional shape with a set of convex solids, and then we converted each solid into a flat-foldable structure. To confirm the validity of our approach, we constructed the obtained shape with thick material by considering the effect of thickness on the geometry. We also added the hinge mechanisms on the constructed model. In addition, we parallelized multiple research and development on the practical application of origami such as deformation of sheet material with slits, and development of an interactive design system.
