| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aims to develop a manufacturing scheme of lightweight functional spatial structures through self-folding. Self-folding is a manufacturing process where a sheet material with embedded patterns of creases folds into 3D shape through self-organized folding deformation; this process substitutes the assembly of multiple pieces in the 3D state.
In this study, we established the theory of self-folding for the first time and derived a method to control the folding motion. Furthermore, through the processes of geometric study, design system implementation and prototyping, we obtained structural systems that folds from a single shape to multiple target shapes, novel spatial structures that switch between multiple states, temporary buildings produced by patterning on a plane.
