Assignment Project Description

Develop or use an existing parametric model in order to design and rapid prototype your geometries using a digital fabrication method of your choice.

Create a 3D object of an origami patern

Inspirations & References

Fluid-driven origami-inspired artificial muscles


my first origami design was done on illustrator, laser engraved on paper, folding is easier. but the design wasn't precise enough, which distorted the folding and created tears.

Oripa

is a drawing software dedicated to designing the crease patterns of origami. The unique feature of ORIPA is calculation of the folded shape from the pattern.

1/ Create your origami patern

I make two paterns :

Muria and Waterbomb

2/ you can export in .pdf to coreldraw if you want to ingrave the paper before folding

Freeform

123dDesign

1/ the basic shape for my origami is composed of 3 rods with different sizes

123ddesignorigami_0026_calque_1.jpg

2/ I started by creating a polygonal shape with 3 sides to the dimensions of my folding

3/The triangle is duplicated and positioned symmetrically on the smaller side

4/The second triangle

5/The third triangle

6/ The second and third triangle are duplicated and positioned to form the 3D folding surface

7/creation of volumes is done from zero

8/ the point movement tool allows to create the origami folding volume

9/ By duplicating the basic volume, we obtain the shape of the folding in 3D

10/The basic form must be well grouped from the beginning, otherwise artifacts will appear

10/the form and counter-form are created

11/ a gap of 5mm is left between the origami surfaces for the silicone mold

123ddesignorigami_0006_calque_21.jpg

12/ 6mm holes are extruded in the origami recesses of the counterform

13/ you can export your .obj to shopboat or 3D Print

Improvements and Challenges

to produce this 3D 123dDesign design seemed easier to access.

the production time of the design took me a long time.
