Origami 3D Printing

Origami 3D printing combines traditional paper folding art with modern 3D printing technology. It involves designing complex, foldable structures that can be printed flat as two-dimensional sheets, which then transform into intricate three-dimensional shapes through precise folding. This approach allows for creating lightweight, compact objects with complex geometries, often used in aerospace, medical devices, or art. By integrating origami principles into 3D printing, designers can produce innovative, functional, and easily deployable structures that would be difficult to make using conventional methods.
