Maker Matthew Lim Uses Kirigami to Build Bolt-Free, Reconfigurable Furniture
Maker Matthew Lim has developed functional 3D objects, including a side table and phone grip, using kirigami techniques. These designs transform from flat sheets into stable, functional structures without bolts or glue. Lim utilized laser cutters and FDM printers to prototype these mechanisms, which can lock into various configurations. The approach offers potential applications in robotics, flat-pack furniture, and space exploration where minimizing weight and volume is critical.
