Abstract

Developing inflatable devices from planar fabric is a new versatile fabrication process that allows the development of complex geometric shapes with a beneficial mass to robustness ratio. However, designing and fabricating with this matter is complex, and the existing design primitives for shape change can constrain designers' creativity. We present a pipeline that allows users and designers to explore and compose with various shape-change primitives. To this extent, we rely on digital simulation combined with a simple digital fabrication tool. This pipeline allows to explore and visualize deformation and develop new application cases for shape-changing interfaces. We propose a workshop around manipulating these tools to foster discussion between designers and researchers around the future of shape-changing interface fabrication.
