Zip-up Print: Rapid and Assemblable 3D printing Using 2D Flattened Zipper-like Structures

We propose a method to fabricate objects composed of 3D printed flattened pieces with integrated zipper-like structures. The object is manually assembled into a 3D shape by connecting the zipper components. By employing a zipper design that allows for angle-independent connections between patches, our method enables b…
