This paper introduces karigami, a novel approach to designing transformable structures using lattices of scissor-like mechanisms, and presents an additive algorithm for generating a wide range of collapsible karigami surfaces with programmable shapes.
Цитати
"In the present work we move beyond cutting and folding and ask a related question: what rules govern two-dimensional structures constructed using a two bar linkage as the unit cell?"
"Taking literally the “scissoring” motion underlying the present mechanisms we propose the name Karigami from “karu”, which refers to shearing."
"Following in the footsteps of its fold- and cut-based cousins, we hope karigami will offer a useful geometric vocabulary for the design of mechanical devices from the micro- to architectural scales."
