Tachi Miura Compressible Origami

thingiverse

This is an experiment with the Tachi Miura origami which can compress to flat plane in two dimensions. It is mean to be printed with flexible filament. Different thickness are available for experimenting. The thing was created: * first using a java script to generate the crease pattern in fold format which can be cyclic. * then it was folded at 50% using this online javascript simulator created by Amanda Ghassaei http://apps.amandaghassaei.com/OrigamiSimulator/ * then exported in 3D format * some post processing was used to create the right thickness (closing object then substracting a slightly contracted version) Notes: * Some designs in .fold format are also included * Fold format available here: https://github.com/edemaine/fold * Flexible filament required to experiment with the folding ! Code to generate the fold format will be provided in a future update
