Pleating is a pretty solved problem too, many filters produced by the million are pleated and can be safety critical too.

- ggm 4y agoPleating is interesting mechanically because its very strong in the right 'direction' considering the pleats. Its what makes corrugated cardboard work. I suspect pleating would work well with "flow" production methods which start with sheets, and do some kind of printing/overlay process in a shallow bath, and then you have 100m of thing, which you pleat before canning/containerising and its both robust and a BIT flexible in some plain in the 3D space, so you can shape it around things.
