Fig. 1: Geometric reconstruction of nonperiodic modular origami structures.

From: Inverse design of 3D reconfigurable curvilinear modular origami structures using geometric and topological reconstructions

Fig. 1

a Unit cell with polyhedrons, b target shape, and c template with deformed polyhedrons. The details of the volumetric mapping from ‘a’ to ‘c’ are provided in Methods. d Volumetric shrinkage; the shrunken polyhedrons are highlighted in purple. e Extrusion of prismatic tubes to connect adjacent shrunken polyhedrons. f–j Other examples of the geometric reconstruction for synthesizing 3D architected materials with modular origami. The rightmost column shows the 3D-printed prototypes (see Supplementary Note 4 of the SI for fabrication details). Scale bar, 1 cm.
