Origami, 3D printing merge to make complex structures in one shot Date: October 22, 2018 ... "I have a piece that I printed about six months ago that I demonstrate for people all the time, ...

Researchers in Simon Fraser University’s Additive Manufacturing Lab are replicating a distinctive artform—the subtle folding of origami—to create 3D printable technologies to aid in the ...

If you’ve done much 3D printing, you probably curse how plastic warps as it cools down and heats. There’s nothing more upsetting than watching a six hour print start curling off the bed… ...

I’m a mathematician whose hobby is origami, and I love introducing people to mathematical ideas through crafts like paper folding. ... Once you’ve mastered the basic structure of a 3D shape, ...

In the catalyst field, Xie notes, people use 3D printing to make ceramic structures perforated with microscopic channels, which increase a catalyst’s exposed surface area. Xu’s method could enable ...

Even the best 3D printers today have not been successful in creating origami-inspired structures due to the complexity of the ancient artform’s creases and folds.

Emerging kirigami/origami techniques, neither subtractive nor additive, provide an automated fashion for 3D micro-/nanofabrication through folding, bending and twisting of 2D materials/structures.

The researchers used a relatively new kind of 3D printing called Digital Light Processing (DLP) to create origami structures that can support significant loads and be folded and refolded repeatedly.

In the traditional Japanese art of origami, pieces of ordinary paper are folded into extraordinary shapes. In the DNA origami technique, strands of DNA are folded into a variety of nanostructures ...
