Folding paper flowers with a pneumatic robot #ArtTuesday
Rahix and Lena both really wanted to dive into the topic of pneumatics. They searched for a small project to build.
Those who know me (rahix) personally have probably at some point noticed my weird obsession with folding paper flowers. Not origami – often there is glue and cutting involved with these flowers – but something close to it. Some people have coined the term “fleurogami” for it. I can’t tell why, but I’m absolutely addicted.
The goal was to build a machine which automatically creases patterns into paper. It took a while, we learned a lot, but in the end, we made this project a reality.
There is a whole series by the pair that goes through the process section by section. See the posts here.
