4D printing: 3D printing plane curve network on fabric, automatically shrinking into 3D structure

Recently, a research team from the Disney Research Center and King Juan Carlos University in Madrid has developed a design tool software that makes it possible to quickly and cost-effectively 3D print smooth surfaces.

The software creates a 3D printed plane curve network (somewhat like a 2D skeleton structure). The user can then print the network onto a piece of pre-stretched fabric using a 3D printer . After printing is complete, cut it into a predetermined shape. At that time, the fabric shrinks according to the 3D printing pattern, and a specific structure is formed under the force of the plastic film. The end result is a complex 3D shape.

This 3D printed fabric structure is called "Kirchhoff-Plateau Surfaces" and was inspired by the work of Swiss designer Christophe Guberan. According to reports, Guberan tried 3D printing on fabrics as early as 2015.

According to reports, Kirchhoff-Plateau Surfaces is very easy to make, you need a 3D printer (even a consumer-grade FDM printer), a retractable fabric, the design tools mentioned above, and 20 minutes. time.

This innovative software integrates simulation and optimization algorithms, thanks to a user-guided and computer-assisted approach that is user-friendly. With it, Kirchhoff-Plateau Surfaces can be easily manufactured even by non-professional designers.
