Labeled Pop-Up Prototypes by Paula Castro, Fall 2020.

The above example does not include all twenty mechanisms you need to make.

What you are turning in:

Twenty (20) LABELED, WORKING pop-up mechanism prototypes. A working mechanism must be able to fold completely flat when closed, and open to a full 180º or 90º depending on its sort. Be sure to remember to LABEL each of your mechanisms so they are easily identifiable.

V-Folds:

  1. Obtuse V-Fold
  2. Acute V-Fold
  3. 90º V-Fold
  4. Unequal V-Fold

Scenery Flats:

  1. Parallel
  2. Obtuse
  3. Acute
  4. Angled
  5. Multi-Layered

Tent Folds:

  1. Even
  2. Uneven
  3. Sloped
  4. Closed (Uncreased)
  5. Closed (Maximum)

Platforms:

  1. Movable Parallel
  2. Fixed Convex
  3. Fixed Concave
  4. Fixed Tilted

Two working mechanisms of your own choosing:
