RoboFold is a radical new technique for sheet metal forming. Programming industrial robots to directly form sheet material allows every component made to be unique. Join this workshop to learn how to design for robotic manufacture through the design of solar shading facade components. The workshop will take you through the design process for curved folding, and explain how to optimise components for production by robots. Using the DHUB fabrication facilities, 1:10 scale models will be built…See More

This is the dedicated webspace for the forthcoming Folding Physics workshop using Daniel Piker's Kangaroo physics engine for a curved folding workshop with Gregory Epps, founder of RoboFold.

Workshop applying Dan Piker's Kangaroo physics engine in a curved folding workshop by Gregory Epps, founder of RoboFold.We have set up a dedicated Folding Physics Group on this site in preparation. We'll be using this space to discuss content, methods and post content relevant to the workshop - join us!Dates TBC - but will be during July/AugustSee More
