A grasshopper definition handled a detailed, rigid [unfolding:fold] of each aluminum segment, taking into account material thickness. This produced the necessary channel widths to be milled into the piece for a given fold angle.
[Unfolded:fold] surface.
A grasshopper definition was developed to slice the aluminum skin along user-specified planes, [unfolded:fold] each resulting segment, and tested for fit within our limited sheet size.
