سلام و عرض ادب میخواستم بدونم طراحی این احجام اوریگامی با چه نرم افزاری طراحی میشوند؟

[@evanlane1690]

Amazing work! Did you have to steam bend any of this, or were you able to get it all done right after laser cutting?

[@mulberryworkshop]

Congratulation for the projects guys!

How fortunate they are to have the toys and specialized materials to make such nifty things.

Being the old curmudgeon that I've grown to be I feel compelled to question whether this is a useful educational activity for students, or is it closer to entertainment for them. The rather obvious posing of apparently thoughtful students with serious intent alongside the structured does little to convince me that this is a serious leaning activity.

That is pretty curmudgeon-y. I get what you're saying, but investigating ways to use materials in new or unintuitive ways has led to many of the most useful innovations. Plus they're learning a ton and having fun. They're learning about fabrication techniques, degrees of freedom, anisotropic material properties, metamaterial properties, etc. The stuff in this video has direct applications in deployable structures and is being used in cutting edge devices from the James Webb space telescope to surgical microrobotics. Plus it's cool looking. 😁

Entretainment? Who are you? Davinci? I rather guess this work makes you jealous...
