MUTOBuild

Elevator Pitch: Imagine deploying a building as easily as folding paper. MUTOBuild introduces cutting-edge, origami-inspired structures that can adapt to any function or environment, carry immense loads, and dramatically reduce construction time and waste. From disaster relief shelters to space habitats, our technology is setting a new standard for what’s possible in construction and beyond.

Concept

Revolutionizing construction with highly adaptable, large-scale origami-based structures

Objective

To provide innovative construction solutions for various industries by leveraging modular and uniformly thick origami (MUTO) technology capable of supporting substantial loads.

Solution

Offering a new class of metre-scale deployable structures, which can reconfigure for multiple functions and environments, ensuring efficient transportation, rapid deployment, and high load-bearing capabilities.

Revenue Model

Direct sales of custom MUTO structures, licensing of technology to construction and aerospace companies, and providing consultation services for complex projects.

Target Market

Construction companies, aerospace industry, disaster relief organizations, military for temporary installations, and space exploration agencies.

Expansion Plan

Initially focus on partnerships with construction and aerospace entities for pilot projects, then expand to disaster relief and military applications. R&D investments to adapt MUTO for sustainable housing and space habitats.

Potential Challenges

Technical refinement for specific applications, scaling production, industry skepticism, and initial high costs.

Customer Problem

The need for structures that can adapt to changing functions, environments, or be reused efficiently, particularly in areas like rapidly deployable housing, adaptable workspaces, or aerospace applications.

Regulatory and Ethical Issues

Compliance with building codes and safety standards, ensuring ethical sourcing of materials, and minimizing environmental impact.

Disruptiveness

MUTO’s ability to combine modularity, adaptability, and load-bearing in large-scale origami structures can revolutionize how temporary and permanent structures are built, introducing unprecedented flexibility and efficiency.
