Perhaps the most interesting part is how much of these technologies borrow from the Japanese art of origami, and the related kirigami. Rather than trying to build three-dimensional structures ...

Current kirigami patterns when deployed undergo uniform scaling, meaning, for example, that a square shape grows in size to ...

The sheet was then fitted onto a frame, and kirigami design principles were used to cut patterns on the sheet. Using a magnetic field under the metal sheet, the research team could generate large ...

Paper is a modest material with rich affordances for craft and design. In this work, we explore shaping carbon-coated paper with manual and digital fabrication processes to create functional and ...
