A method for developing a product is provided, wherein the method includes
developing a three-dimensional product design, translating the
three-dimensional product design into a two-dimensional product design,
wherein the two-dimensional product design includes at least one product
structure having at least two structure sections, obtaining a rigidly
malleable material to create the at least one product structure, wherein
the rigidly malleable material is obtained based on the two-dimensional
product design, generating the at least one product structure by shaping
the rigidly malleable material based on the two-dimensional product
design such that the at least one product structure includes the at least
two structure sections separated by at least one forming groove and at
least one forming tab, the at least one forming tab having a forming tab
height and a forming tab width and hand forming the product structure
based on the at least one forming groove.
