Origami structures with morphing behaviours and unique mechanical properties are useful in aerospace deployable structures, soft robots and mechanical metamaterials. Curved-crease origami, as one of ...

The traditional approach to designing origami metamaterials uses particular, highly symmetric crease patterns to generate folding motions for reconfigurability. We instead consider origami sheets with ...

Inflatable structures are flat and foldable when empty and both lightweight and stiff when pressurized and deployed. They are easy to manufacture by fusing 2 inextensible sheets together along a ...

What do pizza boxes, paper bags, and fancy napkins have in common? Well, you might have guessed it -- origami. Origami, the ancient art of paper folding, is making a comeback. While some of the oldest ...
