Back in 1999, Erik Demaine was a PhD student who created an algorithm that determined the folding patterns necessary to turn a piece of paper into any 3D shape. However, the algorithm was far from ...

Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three ...

To do that, the team 3D printed a ceramic structure based on the Miura-ori origami pattern—which is a way to fold something flat, like paper, so it takes up less space but stays flat overall ...

Now researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology and Peking University have found a way of directly building reconfigurable origami assemblages using 3D printing technology. The structures can ...

NEW YORK -- The Origami Holiday Tree has returned to the American Museum of Natural History for the season. The tree is decorated with origami elephants to celebrate the opening of the museum's ...

Recently, scientists have explored some very different 3D fabrication strategies such as kirigami and origami that make use of the science of cutting and folding 2D materials/structures to create ...
