Many of us could happily fold a paper crane, yet few feel confident solving an equation like x³ – 3 x² – x + 3 = 0, to find a value for x. Both activities, however, share similar skills: precision, ...

Origami has inspired the design of structures with unique properties, finding a huge range of potential uses, including soft robots and stretchable electronics. Now researchers from Georgia Institute ...

A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Beijing Institute of Technology and Peking University are using 3D printing to create directly reconfigurable origami assemblages that ...

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-dimensional ...

Abstract: This paper presents a miniature 50 mm 3 inertial measurement unit (IMU) implemented using a folded microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) process. The approach is based on wafer-level ...

3D printing can be a process that requires patience. Large, complex builds often take a number of hours before completion while industrial 3D printing may take even longer still. That said, the ...

At Simon Fraser University in Canada, a team of researchers led by Professor Kim Woo Soo developed a 3D-printed ventilation system to fight COVID-19. Drawing inspiration from the art of Japanese ...

1. Animated Tutorial on how to fold the basic 3D Origami piece. 2. Video Tutorial on the different ways to connect 3D Origami pieces together to make models. 3. The 3D Origami Generator that lets you ...

A recent study published in npj Flexible Electronics proposes a wireless pressure monitoring system using a 3D-printed origami pressure sensor array. It is equipped with customizable architecture ...
