Re: [Origami] Technology and origami
Matthew, very cool printer developments. I manually did something similar with laser cutting rigid surfaces and simultaneously affixing those to very wide 'tape' back in 2009/10, creating essentially what you see in 2:31 in the video (while working under Erik Demaine), and then replicating that in 2015 or so using a fancy 3d printer that could print both rigid and flexible regions (with Andy Lee). But this is far more exciting and generalizable—I especially like the idea of affixing such rigid surfaces to cloth via a printer and the results are stunning.

I wrote my PhD thesis and published a paper about a process called Fold Printing. It’s pretty amazing. There’s a bunch of links on this page. https://matthewgardiner.net/#research This video gives an overview of the research project that found some of these ideas: https://vimeo.com/305345706 Also other researchers, engineers etc, the good folks at BYU, Robert Lang and a few Japanese researchers have published papers that include origami and 3D printing. So, yes there’s some active research with origami and 3D printing. HTH Matthew
Re: [Origami] Technology and origami
Kate Honeyman asked: > Does anyone know what if any relationship exists between origami and 3D printing Well, if someone wants to find a relation, there is always a way. To keep it simple lets assume you are referring to FDM 3D printers only (there are also resin and powder printers as well as some more exotic ones for chocolate, concrete,...) Both use one medium to create whatever you can think of. For Origami this is an unfolded sheet of paper with or without the restrictions no cutting or glueing. For the 3D printer it would be a spool of plastic (PLA, ABS,...). With both you can be creative and create models on your own, or take the easy path and stick to already existing designs. But only with Origami you can tweak the existing design afterwards to give it your personal touch, assuming you stay puristic and don't use a 3D pen, or hot tools to enhance the model any further. The main difference for me is that with Origami you touch feel and make yourself, whereas on the 3D printer, a machine follows your instructions. You can be creative with both. Origami takes less time from start to finish. With Origami if I design a model I usually start of by folding, and, if ever, draw the diagrams later. With 3D printing you have to draw the "diagrams" (stl-files) first and only then can print the model. The first "own" model I designed for 3D printing, was a model I designed in Origami before. Being a bit short on time, my partner did the drawing for me, following a few simple sketches that I provided him with.
