Printing-on-fabric is a recent manufacturing technique which consists in extruding molten plastic into pre-stretched fabric using standard additive manufacturing technologies. Printing-on-fabric recently gained popularity as a low-cost fabrication technique for designing deployable structures which can pop out of shape when the fabric is released. The complex morphing behavior of this composite material can be explained by metric frustration phenomena which are described in this thesis. We leverage these phenomena to build several applications aiding the design of self-actuated, lightweight structures.We first present a (forward) design tool for fabricating lightweight architectural models based on a tiling of star patterns, with the dimens...
