The embodiment of my mechanism joins modular panels 20 by interlocking both grooves 22 attached by living hinges 24 on the panel edges, thus creating the box 21. The living hinges 24 allow all the grooves 22 to turn forty five degrees at the corners. Upon interlocking both grooves 22 to each other at a forty five degree angle, it completes the ninety degree dihedral angle transition from one panel 20 to another for corners. Another embodiment of my mechanism is to assemble a box 21 in expanded sizes by using the same or similar modular panels 20 without extra accessories. Modular panels are connected side by side to expand the flat surface or transitioning to a ninety degree angle at the box corners. An additional embodiment of my mechanism includes similar sized reinforcing rods 30 embedded in the interlocked grooves 26, which allows them tightly interlock together and strengthen the box 21. One type of the interlocking groove 22 mentioned above is round with a narrower outer opening than the inner width.
