In the manufacturing process, a wide variety of basic technologies are employed to create real-world tangible reproductions from 3D digital models. Paolo Cignoni, Nico Pietroni, Roberto Scopigno and Luigi Malomo developed the Mesh Joinery, a novel strategy to fabricate illustrative shape approximations based on ribbon-shaped planar slices and characterized by a greater flexibility. With Mesh Joinery, the four experts extended the classical slit mechanism that was used for planar joineries by providing additional structural degrees of freedom. To this day, no existing fabrication paradigms are able to represent such complex objects as those realised with their method. Continue reading
