Computational Design of Self-Actuated Surfaces by Printing Plastic Ribbons on Stretched Fabric

David Jourdan, Mélina Skouras, Etienne Vouga, Adrien Bousseau

Abstract: We introduce a new mechanism for self-actuating deployable structures, based on printing a dense pattern of closely-spaced plastic ribbons on sheets of pre-stretched elastic fabric. We leverage two s...
