Unfoldable Mechanisms
Unfoldable mechanisms are structures or devices designed to change shape by unfolding or expanding, then fold back into a compact form. They are used in applications like portable furniture, deployable space structures, and extendable tools. These mechanisms often involve hinges, joints, or linkages that allow smooth transformation between a folded and an open state, optimizing space and functionality. Their design focuses on durability, ease of deployment, and stability in both configurations, enabling efficient use of space and adaptability in various environments.
