PrintFlatobles是一种设计和制造系统，用于人尺度，功能性和动态充气物体。我们将不可扩展的热塑性织物作为原材料，其主要原理是引入褶皱和热密封。通货膨胀后，密封对象采用预期的三维形状。工作流程从用户开始指定预期的3D模型，该模型分解为二维制造几何形状。这形成了密封热塑性织物层的数值控制热接触铁的输入。在本文中，我们详细讨论了系统设计，即该技术具有能够制造大型，功能和动态气动伪像的气动原语。我们通过多个对象演示了设计输出，这些对象可以激发充气媒体和基于压力的界面的制造。
Printflatables is a design and fabrication system for human-scale, functional and dynamic inflatable objects. We use inextensible thermoplastic fabric as the raw material with the key principle of introducing folds and thermal sealing. Upon inflation, the sealed object takes the expected three dimensional shape. The workflow begins with the user specifying an intended 3D model which is decomposed to two dimensional fabrication geometry. This forms the input for a numerically controlled thermal contact iron that seals layers of thermoplastic fabric. In this paper, we discuss the system design in detail, the pneumatic primitives that this technique enables and merits of being able to make large, functional and dynamic pneumatic artifacts. We demonstrate the design output through multiple objects which could motivate fabrication of inflatable media and pressure-based interfaces.
