C-Tubes: Design and Optimization of Tubular Structures Composed of Developable Strips
DescriptionC-tubes are 3D tubular structures made of developable strips. We introduce an algorithm to construct C-tubes while guaranteeing exact surface developability and an optimization method for design exploration. Applications span architecture, engineering, and product design. We present prototypes showcasing cost-effective fabrication of complex geometries using different materials.
