This model explores the structural capabilities of a standard pair of scissors. The scissors’ hinge, lades, and handles present a variety of strategies for anchoring the object to the ground plane and connecting it to a tensile support. Two grooves in the model’s base anchor the scissors and restrict the range of motion of the hinge.
