The inspiration for this exercise came from the undulating scaled surface of fish skin. The geometry of the panel breaks from the repetitive nature of real fish scales by the introduction of a point of distortion. This point of distortion is further emphasized by using particular milling strategies. In order to achieve the desired form, [...]
The concept behind this investigation was to design a joint that was capable of a number of different motions; rolling, rotation, and expanding. These motions are further articulated when these individual units are connected to create a linear system. Each unit has a rotation limit of 355 degrees, which creates an interesting spiral effect once [...]
