Summary: | The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional structure (2) that can be deployed in a compact first configuration and at least one deployed second configuration, the method of manufacture comprising: - a first step, performed by a computer, of generating a so-called alignable mesh (14) from an initial discretized quadrangle mesh; the alignable mesh (14) being obtained by deforming the quadrangles of the initial mesh; a mesh being said to be alignable if such a mesh can be deformed into a rectilinear configuration by angularly modifying the mesh at its nodes and by keeping the side lengths constant; - a second step of manufacturing the three-dimensional structure (2) in its compact first configuration, the three-dimensional structure (2) being manufactured from said generated alignable mesh (14) and having, in its compact first configuration, in the form of an almost-linear preform, the form of a bundle, said preform comprising elastically deformable beams (11), the nodes of the alignable mesh (14) defining positions for connectors that join together the beams (11) of the preform. |
