Advanced 3D Printing Creates Origami-Inspired Structures

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a hybrid additive manufacturing technique that combines origami-inspired design with composite materials to create mold-free, foldable structures. By depositing reinforcing materials directly onto flexible fabrics, the process allows for the creation of complex three-dimensional forms from flat-printed panels. This innovation significantly reduces production costs and lead times, offering a scalable solution for large-scale composite manufacturing across various industrial sectors.
