Non-Euclidian Three-Dimensional Objects and Methods of Forming the Same

摘要

A method of forming a three-dimensional object having a base region and a plurality of curved sidewalls is disclosed (FIGS. 5-8). The object is formed from a two-dimensional piece of material that has been inscribed with geometrical information to form a template. The template comprises a base region and a sidewall region or regions. The sidewall regions are manipulated using a variety of methods to allow the template to be folded into the three-dimensional object (FIGS. 21-25).
