Hey Greg - that is pretty impressive - I have only seen Lamina deal with surfaces that were already developable. This is a very useful capability.

Welcome!!!

This is a place where we can work together towards an open CAD standard, initially based on a quad-mesh geometry, for representing and modelling curved folding geometries...and show what we have crafted in paper, modelled in CAD and then fabricated. Join us!!!

The site was set up by Gregory Epps, founder of RoboFold, as a way to create a common network for anyone involved in folding, CAD and fabrication.

Virtual Paper 10 Replies

I was thinking about trying to add something to my kangaroo physics engine to simulate the behaviour of paper (and other non-stretchy sheet materials), and was wondering if anyone has any pointers to…

Sheet metal folding 4 Replies

I am working on a bridge project based on a pleated and curved hypar (I attached some pictures). I was thinking to fold it using a sheet of mild steel 1.5 mm thick perforated along crease lines. The…

Ning 4 Ever

Quick Update: I have renewed the Ning subscription, which some people had mentioned was moving from free to paid - so we can stay with Curved Folding on Ning... Ning is the choice of the Grasshopper network, and various other Rhino related networks - so a good choice for us here too. It also makes it easy to manage workshops and other group activities - so feel free to set up your own groups, use the forum or upload pictures and videos. See you soon, Greg.

Ning

Thanks John - Ning will announce their pricing plans on the 4th May. (The curvedfolding.com site is a paid site anyway). I will try and maintain this site as-is rather than port to another platform, but this is an option. Will keep everyone updated via the forum...Greg
