This class will introduce the Miura-ori tessellation and discuss its applications in manufacturing novel materials. Students will learn to fold the Miura-ori tessellation in preparation for a presentation on how origami can be used to develop carbon-based materials with advantageous material properties. These carbon-based origami structures have possible applications in manufacturing materials for sectors such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and more!
Supplies:
One square of 15x15cm paper (any type/coloring works, but for best results, avoid anything thinner than kami).
Advisories:
- This uses non-square paper: No
- Please pre-crease a tessellation grid: No
Bibliography:
Method of Packaging and Deployment of Large Membranes in Space written by Koryo Miura and published by the Tokyo Institute of Space and Astronautical Science in 1985
