PneuMesh is a class of truss-based pneumatic shape-changing interface. Using tetrahedrons as building blocks, channel connection and temporal signal as the control system, you can build shape-changing interfaces that achieve complex motion and shape change with only a few control units. We built Web-PneuMesh as a web-based editing tool that assists you to iteratively design, visualize and simulate your own PneuMesh.
A few **examples** have been ****built by designers or optimized through NSGA-II algorithm.
Open the tool(https://riceroll.github.io/pneumesh/) with your favorite browser(chrome/safari preferred).
Always save your design by clicking "Download" and load with "Load", in case you lose your design.
PneuMesh is built with Beams and Joints. You can edit the shape of PneuMesh with Shape Editing tools. To assure the stability of the structure, you need to built the mesh with tetrahedrons.
You can add a Joint together with a Beam with the Add Joint function.
You can also add Beams by connecting existing Joints together.
