Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a groundbreaking robotic quilting technique that allows for the creation of foldable home furnishings from fabric-covered panels. This innovative approach has led to the design of various items including chairs, side tables, lamps, and backpacks that use layers of plywood and acrylic. The technique employs existing CNC quilting machines to construct flexible hinges, eliminating the need for traditional hardware and enabling quick assembly. This advancement not only introduces a new category of furniture but also encourages creative designs inspired by origami.
At Carnegie Mellon University, researchers have engineered a robotic quilting technique that transforms fabric-covered, lightweight panels into foldable home furnishings.
The designs draw inspiration from origami, utilizing fabric-based hinges that simplify the assembly process and also add to the overall sturdiness of the furniture.
