Materialmanipulation durch Biegeschnittgeometrien
am Beispiel eines Stuhls
Description
This work investigates an alternative method for deforming sheet materials, in which targeted material removal influences the bending behaviour to ultimately transform them into complex three-dimensional shapes.
As part of the project, systematic experiments were conducted with varying parameters to examine their impact on the bending strength of different materials. These findings provided the basis for a practical application in the design of a chair.
The resulting concept offers significant design potential and makes it possible to dispense with conventional bending processes, which usually require the use of special and purpose-specific moulding tools. This omission allows for a parametrisable, freely adaptable design, creating a flexible platform for the generation of various seating furniture.
