A modern update to how the ancient paper arts of origami and kirigami are used is helping scientists develop intricate shapes in glass and other hard materials using 3D printing, researchers said. A ...

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 ...

INDIANAPOLIS, March 28, 2023 — The ancient art of origami is well known for transforming sheets of paper and other foldable materials into complex 3D shapes. But now, chemical engineers have extended ...

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 ...

The starting point for origami, the art of folding paper, is the Japanese culture but as this became a complex form of art its influence and popularity grew worldwide.

3D printing of complex objects typically takes a long time due to the printing process necessarily laying down a large number of 2D layers to build up the object. The process usually wastes a lot of ...

You can make a typical origami crane in about 20 folds. Now multiply that by 300. That’s about how many folds one Finnish artist uses to make his exquisitely intricate origami characters. Twenty-three ...

Researchers used their new technique to fold a glass bar (a), create an optical resonator (b), to achieve helical bending (c), and to create a table with a parabolic reflector (middle, lower row).
