Konstantinos Gavriil - Optimizing B-spline surfaces for developability and paneling architectural freeform surfaces
–
30 May 2018
Motivated by applications from architecture and design, we present a novel optimization method for the problem of increasing the developability of an arbitrary surface. We base our method on the property that the Gauss image of a developable surface is 1-dimensional and can be locally well approximated by planar and thus circular Gauss images. A variation of the main method allows us to tackle the problem of paneling a freeform surface with (rotational) cylindrical, (rotational) conical and planar panels, which are the main preferred types of developable panels in architecture due to the reduced cost of manufacturing.
