Automated Folding of Origami Lattices: From Nanopatterned Sheets to Stiff Meta‐Biomaterials (Small 3/2023)

Origami Lattices Folding of flat sheets into 3D structures is a promising approach for the fabrication of functionalized metamaterials. Inspired by sheet metal forming, Teunis van Manen and co-workers in article number 2203603 develop an automated folding method for the folding of stiff lattice structures comprising large numbers of small interconnected unit-cells. Surface nano-features are applied at the initial flat material and preserved during the process of folding.
