We investigate the change in metrics induced by the inflation of these paths and the consequent transformation of the initially flat patches into 3D structures. In particular, we studied in detail the case of asymmetric zigzags, which leads to a rotation of the deformation tensor and widens the routes for reverse-engineering. We finally propose a theoretical model based of zigzagging paths to program the deployment of flat sheets into 3D shapes.
