AirForce: Personal Fabrication of Large-Scale, Load-Bearing Animatronics Structures from a Single Tube

We present a fabrication system called AirForce that allows users to create large-scale, load-bearing animated structures from a single inflatable tube. AirForce builds on the personal fabrication of animated truss structures, based on which it replaces not only the static elements with tube, but also introduces tube-…
