[Origami] Not origami, but might give some inspiration -- Instructable: Curved laser bent wood by Aaron Porterfield
These elegant bent-wood lattices are more kirigami than origami, but I can imagine trying to re-create the effects with origami modules/tesselations: http://www.instructables.com/id/Curved-laser-bent-wood/ This instructable will cover my own experiments with laser kerf bent wood, also known as lattice hinges, and how I tried to create it parametrically to bend along a curved surface. There's a lot of good information about lattice hinges here http://www.deferredprocrastination.co.uk/blog/cate... http://www.deferredprocrastination.co.uk/blog/category/def-proc/lattice-hinges/ [Open Source Engineering] which explains the concept and actual physics behind it.

(Forwarding on behalf of Yahoo user marcio_nogu...@yahoo.com) -- Forwarded message -- JOHN MELLO said: This seems like a rally great idea however could there be someway that we could test out if our system supports the platform before we buy? ... I’ve found it goes better if you can do a trial run before the actual event. Otherwise you have people missing the live event while they are trouble shooting their systems/network. Dear John, Many thanks for your suggestion. Since this is really the first time that we are trying to organize an online event, we are actually going through the learning curve, resolving logistics issues and technological challenges. Nevertheless, we believe that there is value in offering. So, thanks for your idea to improve. Here are the links for system diagnostics and test session. I hope that it will at least give you a flavor of how it will look like, as well as the confidence that your setup is ready. Notes: A new session URL will be provided for the live session, as well as a personalized ID The Test session will not have an active camera/audio available due to logistics. Also, I ask you to be patient since there is a chance that the session may timeout. I will check regularly so that it will stay open. System Diagnostics: https://origamiusa.adobeconnect.com/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm Test session: https://origamiusa.adobeconnect.com/test_connect/ User: testo...@origamiusa.adobeconnect.com Pass: origamiusa Let me know in case of further questions or comments. Best regards, Marcio.
