  • Doubly-Curved Mesh
    Publication number: 20100233421
    Abstract: A doubly-curved mesh (110) is fabricated based on a customized design. In one aspect, a plurality of material-strips (112) are provided. A length is determined for at least one segment (223) of at least one material-strip based on a distance between points (214) on al geodesic line associated with the material-strip. The plurality of material-strips are connected to form a plurality of quadrilaterals (118) defined by four edges. At least one edge of at least one quadrilateral is modified based on the determined length for the at least one segment to form the doubly-curved mesh.
