Project Update 11/26/08 (papercraft)
In the past few weeks, I have made a few more papercraft models based on my original geometry. These models explore different ways of stitching surfaces together to form a 3D solid. My next step will be to prototype a few wooden models by lasercutting veneer. I also want to explore ways of weaving the surfaces together to create a solid.
Here are some pics:
The original Model
1,950 folds
15 pieces, 330 glue tabs
Even though it is only made from paper, the geometry is surprisingly strong.
