Sonobe

Sonobe modules are a form of modular oragami. Several shapes can be made from combining different numbers of them. This project was an injection-molded version of the traditional sonobe module. The aluminum mold was machined in a 3-axis CNC mill and the polypropylene parts were injection molded. Each part contains three living hinges and two sliding shutoffs. The shapes are: cube (6 modules), octahedron (12), icosahedron (30), and a truncated icosahedron (90).

Sonobe was an individual project.
