KingKong

RoboFold presents the KingKong folding simulation and panelling design plugin for Grasshopper.

Design: Fold panels using curved folding and control panel distribution on surfaces with a range of attractor systems. Download the software, manual and example files from:  www.food4rhino.com/project/robofoldkingkong

Manufacture: The results of design using the KingKong facade tool are produced by RoboFold. The data generated will drive our robotics software, enabling manufacture using the RoboFold technology. 

Installation: When you need it, we generate the necessary detailing and layout data for mounting to a wall, wooden panelling system or subframe.

Engineering: You are responsible for the engineering.

What shapes can I fold in KingKong?

The easiest way to check this is to test your ideas using paper or card. Scan in you fold pattern to get the curved fold lines and edge lines, and let KingKong fold it.

What shapes can RoboFold manufacture?

Most shapes you can fold in paper by hand, we can fold in metal with robots. If you want to build a facade, or anything else, feel free to contact us and we can determine whether the fold type is feasible. Join one of our workshops to learn through making your own facade designs.

Pre-requisites:

KingKong makes use of components from the Kangaroo Physics plugin by Daniel Piker. Please download and install this before you open the example files. 

Planned features:

Rotation controlled by flow-line attractor.

Clash detection.

Russell getting real interest Mut 23 coins?

While it isn't clear if JaMarcus Russell is able to complete his return to Madden NFL 23. nobody will doubt that he's giving it some effort the second time.
