Swelling and Folding as Mechanisms of 3D Shape Formation in Thin Elastic Sheets

We work with two different mechanisms to generate geometric frustration on thin elastic sheets; isotropic differential growth and folding. We describe how controlled growth and prescribing folding patterns are useful tools for designing three-dimensional objects from information printed in two dimen...
