Multi-stable structures with controlled switching sequence

This project studies the function and the creation of 3D multi-stable structure by using a 3D printer that can change to a deformed state and back by applying force.

Description
Summary:This project studies the function and the creation of 3D multi-stable structure by using a 3D printer that can change to a deformed state and back by applying force. The aim of this project is to improve an existing design of a previous student by producing a thickness variation into the model to generate different stress forces at different location of the structure and provides faster printing time as well as cut material usage. The report investigates on how the behaviour changes of shape deformation and recovery of the structure.
