BYU Engineering is well known for origami-inspired research and innovations, including foldable antenna systems used in space. Recently, an undergraduate student made a significant discovery—a new ...

Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have appropriated a less-common technique of origami known as "collapse"-type, in which all folds are carried out more or less simultaneously, to ...

The action that's been reserved for thin, flexible materials is about to get a boost. Researchers studying the ancient art of origami have figured out some new ways to make rigid, thick structures ...

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

"What we have here is the proof of concept of an integrated system for manufacturing complex origami. It has tremendous potential applications," said Glaucio H. Paulino, a professor at the School of ...

Complex items require a lot of 2D layers to be laid down during the 3D printing process; therefore, this procedure usually takes a long time. The technique typically results in significant material ...
