摘要:
A two-dimensional sheet material is provided that is suitable for bending along a bend line to form a three-dimensional object. The sheet material is provided with a plurality of displacements in a thickness direction of the sheet material on one side of the bend line. A portion of the displacements shear adjacent the bend line and define an edge and an opposed face. The edge and opposed face configured to produce edge-to-face engagement of the sheet material during bending. Alternatively, sheet material is provided with a plurality of displacements in a thickness direction of the sheet material on one or both sides of the bend line, and with a plurality of corresponding and cooperating protrusions to improve structural integrity and/or to improve electromagnetic and radio frequency shielding. The sheet material may also be provided with a self-latching structure. A method of preparing and using these sheet materials is also described.

摘要:
A substantially two-dimensional sheet material is configured for bending along a bend line to form a three-dimensional structure having a hinge along the bend line. The sheet material includes a substantially two-dimensional in a region in which a bend is to be made, and a plurality of displacements in a thickness direction of the sheet material along opposing sides of the bend line, each displacement having a sheared edge extending between end portions thereof and substantially parallel to the bend line. The adjacent sheared edges overlap one another with respect to the bend line to form a hinge structure therebetween extending along the bend line, the hinge structure having hinge ends that conform in shape with the end portions. The hinge structure is dimensioned and configured for multiple bend and unbend cycles thereby providing a monolithic hinge connecting opposing panels of the sheet material on opposing sides of the bend line. A method of preparing and using the hinged three-dimensional structure is also disclosed.
