A 4D-printed structure pairs origami panels with a lattice core to fold flat for storage and bear heavy loads once deployed.
Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...
Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...
BYU Engineering is well known for origami-inspired research and innovations, including foldable antenna systems used in space. Recently, an undergraduate student made a significant discovery—a new ...
The folding pattern, Miura-Ori (Miura fold), designed by Japanese astrophysicist Koryo Miura, is generated from a tessellation with parallelograms. One particularity of the folding method is that the ...
Origami-based structures have been used to create deployable solar arrays for space, adaptable acoustic systems for symphony halls and even crash protection systems for flying drones. Now researchers ...
LAVA has shared with us their current window installation, Digital Origami a product of parametric modeling experiments and digital fabrication methods. Additional images of this sculptural work, a ...
