Summary:A storage compartment includes, front and rear panels with first and second side panels operably coupled between the front and rear panels. Each side panel includes first and second portions interconnected along an articulating joint for movement between folded and extended positions. A bottom panel includes first and second portions interconnected along an articulating joint, for movement between folded and extended positions. The front, rear and bottom panels, and the first and second side panels are made using an additive manufacturing process to create a storage compartment that is fully integrated. The panels further cooperate to define an interior vessel that is operable between deployed and retracted conditions. In the retracted condition, the interior vessel provides for a storage compartment with a minimized profile, such that multiple storage compartments can be additively manufactured in a single build box if an additive manufacturing device.
