Hoberman sphere

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1mPhCjeG-g Does anyone know how I can go about making these sort of joints for making a hoberman sphere.

Thanks!

Good ol’ google search has got your back :wink:

Hoberman taught a course at MIT with Erik Demaine and Daniela Rus a few years ago, and the lecture slides are available here:

The geometric principles for these scissor mechanisms are shown in weeks 2,3 and 5.

I’m Trying to recreate what Hoberman Made in his Lecture slides but I am not good enough at grasshopper yet.

Hello
Not good enough at searching :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: i used quad circle grasshopper and Piker as keywords
I think this link will help you to find the good keywords to search for such things
