Additive manufacturing technology has enabled the creation of intricate designs that transform from 2D to 3D structures. One popular application of this technology is through the use of origami tessellations, which involves repeating geometric shapes on a single flat plane without any gaps or overlaps. This form of art is being integrated into geodesic concepts in today's design models. A prototype has been created that integrates the Elastic Geodesic Grid (EGG) and the Maura-Ori origami design using 3D printing to create a dome-like shape. This report considers these qualities and proposes a design that is not only stable but is also able to be 3D printed as a whole, and without additional assembly. In particular, a geodesic structure that allows for a 3D change to a model, by relying on a material malleable quality, and a force being applied to it that results in structural buckling. This report will also explore the different design models available such as a tessellation designs and how they may be incorporated and implemented in the reconfigurable structure.
