Identifying areas to protoype with Xanita



These photoes indicate the areas on my 1:2 scale mock up that need to be prototyped with xanita. The angle and type of cut will need to be determined in order for my final concept to work with xanita. It is quite obvious from the photoes that many of the folds are less then 30 degrees, this may be a challenge to achieve with xanita board.

Esquisse 4 - folding and locking systems





The challenge of this esquisse was to construct a cube with the dimensions 60 by 60 by 60 mm using 3 different folding systems and a locking system. Due to use of the different folding systems, the dimensions of each face turned out to be different. This exercise is usefeul in that it allows an indepth look into how cardboard is folded and the implications of different types of fold.
