Soon in the design phase we realized that we are creating a flexible transparent hinge design.

Next step in the design process is the design of the pattern onto the panel. A common issue that we had during the prototype_00 process was the durability of the silicon connection between the panels. The connection was sometimes weak, and the silicon tended to either break at points or disconnect from the EPS panel. It is worth mentioning, however, that none of the connections failed.

The adhesive properties of silicon along with friction allowed a rigid yet flexible connection between the panels. However, we realized that sharp corners tended to rip the silicon apart.

The next step was to computationally design a pattern that would avoid sharp curves and grow organically on the panel itself.
