Applied Folded Tubes for Curved Folding
摘要
This paper presents possible ways to apply and integrate foldable tubes in combination with curved foldlines. The authors briefly present and explain the idea of tubes in relation to surfaces and discuss different approaches. The range of topics start from tubes that help actuate and form curved surfaces in a controlled way, over to pairwise tubes that can help to block mechanisms as soon as their relation is defined, to tubes that allow for a higher stiffness of folded configurations.
