pubs.rights-statement	The crs (crease) project is an investigation into the application of creasing or pleating sheet metal as an alternative fabrication method. Fabrication of objects made from sheet metal spans across large resource intensive companies at one end to single metal-smiths at the other. Current sheet metal practice regards any irregularity, such as creasing and pinching as poor quality or defective. Yet, a similar method is used extensively by dress designers to manipulate fabric into three-dimensional forms. While woven fabrics are inherently supple which makes creasing possible without the need for large complex machinery, the question arose when comparing fabrication methods across design areas– could a method be devised that allowed for the creasing and pleating of sheet metal for the industrial production of designed objects? crs is a concept for combining perforating and manual folding as a means to create objects, in this case a series of containers. The objects are constructed using mild steel, the perforations are made using CNC turret punching technology and colour is applied using conventional spray-painting methods. The resulting outcome enables a flat sheet of metal to be formed into a three-dimensional form by hand with the appearance and precision of an industrially produced one. crs provides a platform for the development of a new way to engage with sheet metal that can now be distinguished from existing methods, providing designers with another manufacturing option. crs was selected for exhibition in WORKSHOPPED, which was part of the Powerhouse Museum’s contribution to Sydney Design 2011.	en_US

Abstract:

The CRS (crease) container project is an investigation into the application of creasing or pleating using sheet metal. Inspiration was drawn from the way dress makers are able to make fabric follow the human body. Many garments such as dress pants and suite jackets are created using some form of pleat or crease to ensure that unsightly and uncomfortable crumpling of the fabric is minimised or completely avoided. Pleating or creasing fabric is relatively straight forward; performing this process on sheet metal is not as simple. Following on from previous sheet metal experiments which investigated the idea of complex form creation using a combination of manual and technological methods, I adopted the same idea of perforating the sheet metal along a designated fold line. CRS is a concept for combining perforating and manual folding as a means to create objects, in this case a series of containers. The objects are constructed using mild steel, the perorations are made using a laser cutter and colour is applied using spray-painting technology
