4D STRUCTURES FOR RAPID CONSTRUCTION OF A SHELTER IN CRISIS SITUATIONS
[Master Thesis Project]
Study of Shapes like origami, domes and tensegrity structures to be used in 3D printing with posterior stimuli, to auto assembly.
Tests with SMP material. Folding and posteriorly stimuli (using hot water) to auto assembly of the shelter.
3D render of the shelter in a real case scenario.
Patented Design: Shelter comprising a foldable canopy surface of a shape memory polymer, method for producing and unfolding thereof. pt P793.1
