a Design and fabrication of the combinatory digital architected material consisting of tessellations of 3 × 3 array units. Scale bar, 40 mm. b Force-displacement curves of three-dimensional Miura-origami structures (named Orii, i = 1, 2, 3) with different deployment angles. Inset: Schematic showing the test method of compression. c Typical target force-displacement curves (obtained by linearly superposing the compressive force-displacement curves of basic units) with different combination forms and the experimental result of combination form of two Ori1s, two Ori2s, and five Ori3s. Inset: Snapshots when the load cell contacts different Miura-origami units.
