PROJECTS

3D Printing & Geometric Models
==============================
	daVinci Icosahedron, continuing
	Universal joints re-designed
	Print run Monday/Tuesday?

D-Forms
=======
	straight + straight:  
		Lost proof :-( 
		Proof regained :-), a stronger result(?):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THEOREM
If two rectangles of paper are glued along a common edge to form a smooth curve 
gamma in space, 
DELETE: such that the resulting object is convex,                         :DELETE
ADD:    such that the surfaces are not "zipped together" along the curve, :ADD
then, if gamma is creased, then gamma is a straight segment in 3D.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Attempt to write down proof, clarify consequences 
	Next? Ribbon curves question:  Are all space curves ribbon curves?
	Curved origami of Huffman
		NYTimes article
		Published paper in journal
		Faith model

Pop-Up Books
============
	POV-ray animation of sphere-cone intersection
	http://maven.smith.edu/~orourke/DTS/Sum05/WebPages/Nell/sphere_remix_two.gif
	... => MPEG?
	Medial plane rotating through cone rim traces out a circle:
		Faith card model
			Write description, questions, how-to, etc.?
