Demonstrating thermorph: Democratizing 4d printing of self-folding materials and interfaces
Extended Abstracts of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing …, 2018•dl.acm.org
We demonstrate" Thermorph", a rapid prototyping system aims to print flat thermoplastic
composites and trigger them to self-fold into 3D with arbitrary bending angles. An interactive
web-based design platform is developed to allow users to input their desired 3D shape or
design 2D pattern, and see the printer printing it out automatically. Thermorph employs a
desktop FDM printer and low-cost printing filaments to make this 4D printing technique
readily accessible for researchers, hobbyists, classrooms, museums and developing …
