We start by mapping the 3D surface onto a 2D domain as in traditional UV mapping to design a set of deformable flat panels called FlexMaps. For these panels, we design and obtain specific mechanical properties such that, once they are assembled, the static equilibrium configuration matches the desired 3D shape. FlexMaps can be fabricated from an almost rigid material, such as wood or plastic, and are made flexible in a controlled way by using computationally designed spiraling microstructures."}],"ec_funded":1,"oa":1,"department":[{"_id":"BeBi"}],"publisher":"Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)","article_type":"original","article_number":"241","file":[{"content_type":"application/pdf","file_name":"flexmaps_author_version.pdf","relation":"main_file","checksum":"d0529a41c78b37ab8840685579fb33b4","creator":"bbickel","date_created":"2019-09-23T12:48:52Z","file_size":100109811,"date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:14Z","access_level":"open_access","file_id":"6901"}],"type":"journal_article","intvolume":"        37","project":[{"call_identifier":"H2020","_id":"24F9549A-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"715767","name":"MATERIALIZABLE: Intelligent fabrication-oriented Computational Design and Modeling"},{"call_identifier":"H2020","name":"Soft-bodied intelligence for Manipulation","_id":"25082902-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"645599"},{"call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"754411","_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships"}],"day":"01","issue":"6","title":"FlexMaps: Computational design of flat flexible shells for shaping 3D objects","article_processing_charge":"No","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_created":"2019-02-13T13:12:53Z","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0730-0301"]},"pubrep_id":"1068","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:14Z","status":"public","citation":{"ista":"Malomo L, Perez Rodriguez J, Iarussi E, Pietroni N, Miguel E, Cignoni P, Bickel B. 2018.
