Cool. Space would be a great place for it - less opposing forces, plenty of 'space', so simpler processes become more scalable. On folding, there's some interesting similar work from origami academics and noodle nerds looking at things like how you can pre-score or pre-plan to auto-achieve a selected geometry by constricting limited lines of tension across partly rigid planes, or achieve arbitrary geometries on flatpack noodles when rehydration occurs. In general, the flatpack/IKEA notion gets really hard really quickly once you take tooling, protected workspace and dextrous free labor out of the equation.
