Statement
Meander Art: We present a relief-cutting method to turn rigid planar surfaces into flexible ones. We have developed algorithms to obtain a large subset of all possible 2D meander-patterns with a simple remeshing process. Our algorithm can be applied to any polygonal mesh to produce 2D meander-patterns. Moreover, since these meander-patterns are obtained by a remeshing algorithm, by changing parameters, we can control local properties of the pattern with intensity of images to obtain desired stiffness in any given region. This approach that provides a simple interface to construct desired patterns also helps us to create images by laser cutting wood panels.
