Dictyophora Indusiata has a network structure called indusium. This Kirigami-like structure is folded compactly into the pileus. Each cell of the structure deploys by rotating the Y-shaped components. However, the geometrical patterns of the indusium are not clarified. Here we show how to design deployable patterns from the network structure of indusium using Kirigami techniques. We anticipate applying geometrical patterns of indusium to achieve the efficient manufacturing of a deployable structure. For example, it is possible to manufacture huge and complex three-dimensional structures without large factories by cutting slits in flat sheets.

摘要

Dictyophora Indusiata has a network structure called indusium. This Kirigami-like structure is folded compactly into the pileus. Each cell of the structure deploys by rotating the Y-shaped components. However, the geometrical patterns of the indusium are not clarified. Here we show how to design deployable patterns from the network structure of indusium using Kirigami techniques. We anticipate applying geometrical patterns of indusium to achieve the efficient manufacturing of a deployable structure. For example, it is possible to manufacture huge and complex three-dimensional structures without large factories by cutting slits in flat sheets.
