In this research by Bojan Tepavčević, Vesna Stojaković and Dejan Mitov, authors present a design for a mass customization online 3D model for deployable emergency shelter that automatically provides drawings for CNC machines.

The main motivation for such research has risen from a global need to provide emergency shelters for people affected by natural disaster. The model is designed to be a flat packable, mono-material based on a double corrugated folding pattern.

Based on numerous functional, structural and fabrication constraints the presented model can provide a myriad of similar geometric forms that can reflect personal needs and can be used for different purposes.
