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
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
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.
