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 ...

This novel fabrication process makes lightweight, expandable, 3D structures. Engineers at The Georgia Institute of Technology have merged the ancient art of folding paper, origami, with 3D printing to ...

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created a one-step approach to fabricating complex origami structures whose lightweight, expandability and strength could offer a wide range of ...

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing technique that creates paper-thin ‘magnetic muscles’ capable of bringing origami structures to life to deliver medicine inside the body. A crawler robot ...

Complex items require a lot of 2D layers to be laid down during the 3D printing process; therefore, this procedure usually takes a long time. The technique typically results in significant material ...

There are only a few truly ancient engineered materials, and among the oldest is paper. Traditionally, paper is flat and can be bent into shapes. However, paper can be molded into for example packing ...

A team of scientists from North Carolina State University (NC State) has produced an ultra-thin magnetic film using 3D printing that can be applied to origami structures. The resulting actuator can be ...

Maksud Rahman, University of Houston assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, has created a new ceramic material that can bend - but not break - with applications ranging from ...
