Abstract
Folding is required to reduce the volume of objects in space. This operation allows transportation and storage of folded objects. The use of folding systems has greatly evolved since the itinerant habitation of the first men. Nowadays it covers a wide range of applications, from the simple fisherman’s chair, to architectural projects and satellite components.
