First of all, flat-pack tubes do indeed already exist ... That's where the new "curved-crease origami" tube design comes in. Lead scientists Prof. Mike Xie (left) and Dr. Jeff Lee (right ...
One of our tipsters just sent us a link to some fascinating videos on a new style of rapid prototyping — Laser Origami ... cut and folded in 4 minutes flat!
With our new design, these booms could be a stronger ... forces by changing the tube orientations. "With our origami-inspired innovation, flat-pack tubes are not only easy to transport, but ...
With our new design, these booms could be a stronger structure.” Xie said their smart algorithm enabled control over how the structure behaved under forces by changing the tube orientations. “With our ...
