There’s a paper about how it works available, too. The Thermorph process uses commercially-available 3D printers, but requires special software. You might wonder why you would want to fold ...

However, paper can be molded into for example packing material or egg cartons. [XYZAidan] has a process that can recycle paper into 3D cardboard ... is more akin to origami.

This novel fabrication process makes lightweight, expandable, 3D structures. Engineers at The Georgia Institute of Technology have merged the ancient art of folding paper, origami, with 3D ...

Hyperbolic paraboloids shouldn’t exist in origami—it’s impossible to make such a 3D shape using only ... circles carved into a wood template. The paper is scored along the circular creases ...

The Japanese word origami has long been part of the global lexicon, and this traditional paper-folding craft is ... of what they call the “origami 3D printer.” Unlike an ordinary 3D printer ...

Zhao and his co-workers used a 3D printing technique to fabricate structures comprised of combinations of individual origami units, without the need for any additional assembly step. The analogous ...

To do that, the team 3D printed a ceramic structure based on the Miura-ori origami pattern -- which is a way to fold something flat, like paper, so it takes up less space but stays flat overall ...
