From: Multimaterial 3D printed self-locking thick-panel origami metamaterials
a Illustration of thick-panel origami fabrication through FDM multimaterial 3D printing. b Comparison on the interfacial property of multimaterial 3D printed samples by conventional and wrapping-based strategies. c Snapshots of wrapping-based hinge under tension and fold. d Concept of soft hinge shift technique. e–g Demonstrations of 3D printed thick-panel origami with Miura, Kresling, flasher pattern, whose rigid component composed by ABS, CFRP, PLA, respectively (scale bars = 20 mm). h Illustration of a thickened plane-symmetric single-vertex four-crease origami model. i Relationships between dihedral angles for zero-thickness and thickened single-vertex four-crease origami model. j Demonstration on the foldability of 3D printed thickened plane-symmetric single-vertex four-crease origami.
