  • Foldable structure, method of manufacturing foldable structure, manufacturing device of foldable structure, and non-transitory computer-readable computer medium storing a program
    Patent number: 10875273
    Abstract: To provide a foldable structure to which stiffness is imparted so that non-uniform extension and contraction is inhibited even when each surface is formed of a flexible material, a manufacturing method and a manufacturing device of the foldable structure, and a non-transitory computer-readable computer medium storing a program. A foldable structure including at least two tubular structures in which the two tubular structures include a shared surface array which is continuous shared surfaces shared by each other, and a twisting characteristic in the shared surface array of one tubular structure is in a direction opposite to that of the twisting characteristic in the shared surface array of the other tubular structure.
