NORIGAMI CREASE PATTERN MODEL DESIGN BASED ON SURFACES OF REVOLUTION

摘要

In this work, we present a strategy to design and construct 3D shape paper models that can be automatically folded and glued using a robotic machine. Here, we use concepts of "kirigami", that is a combination of folding and cutting paper, and "norigami", that combines folding with gluing of the paper. A software was developed in order to create crease patterns using a two-dimensional polyline profile and rotating it around an axis by a unit of 2π/N rad (N>2). The gluing areas were modified to permit free allocation and movement. The proposed method is also evaluated and validated to construct several 3D shapes using paper-like materials by hand, or using a special machine developed in our previous researches.
