Abstract
Technical folding systems are rigid, three-dimensional surface structures that can be folded at their joints. Due to their foldable structure, technical folding systems can produce lightweight structures that have a high load-bearing capacity and can also flexibly change their shape. In order to develop products with technical folding in a function-oriented product development process, a folding principle must be defined that realises the individual functions. Since there is hardly any expert knowledge on technical folding, in general, and on the use of the technical folding principle in particular, technical folding is not very widespread despite its promising properties. Therefore, there is a need for a software-supported evaluation of whether functions can be realised by the principle of technical folding. The software-supported applicability evaluation (EvalTech) developed here is based on case-based reasoning methods, as these can artificially simulate evaluations based on expert knowledge. The expert knowledge used for the evaluation includes functions, function structures and properties of known technical folding systems, which are compared with functions and function structures of the development task. EvalTech was successfully used in the development and realisation of a large-scale foldable cover for industrial robots.
