Abstract
AbstractThis paper presents a case study on applying large-scale additive manufacturing (LSAM) to scissor-type deployable structures for disaster shelters. The use of advanced technology has become increasingly popular among architects, engineers, and other stakeholders looking to achieve more efficient designs. In this context, LSAM offers the potential to optimize form, reduce material consumption, and speed up the construction process. The project includes both a theoretical study of scissor structures and practical feasibility tests, culminating in the design and manufacture of a full-scale printed prototype. Computational design tools were used to analyze and compare different designs and simulate manufacturing processes in a virtual environment. Through this case study, we provide a detailed account of our journey from design to fabrication and offer a critical reflection on the findings.
