Self-folding origami at any energy scale

Origami is widely practiced in the design of foldable structures for smart applications and usually consists of stiff sheets that only deform along prescribed creases. Pinsonet al. take a statistical physics approach to design and characterize arbitrary patterns as a function of folding energy.

Jigsaw puzzle design of pluripotent origami

The crease patterns for origami-based mechanical metamaterials can fold into myriad 3D shapes, but predicting foldability is no simple task. A framework for designing foldable patterns offers a neat alternative to extensive computer optimization.

Multimaterial 3D printed self-locking thick-panel origami metamaterials

Thick panel origami holds great potential in engineering structures, but conventional fabrication processes limit their design and applications. Here the authors report a multimaterial 3D printing-based design and fabrication strategy for thick-panel origami structures with push-to-pull deformation.
