MIT engineers use kirigami to make ultrastrong, lightweight structures

Produced with techniques borrowed from Japanese paper-cutting, the strong metal lattices are lighter than cork and have customizable mechanical properties.

Cellular solids are materials composed of many cells that have been packed together, such as a honeycomb. The shape of those cells largely determines the material’s mechanical properties, including its stiffness or strength. Bones, for instance, are filled with a natural material that enables them to be lightweight, but stiff and strong. Inspired by bones and other cellular solids found in nature, humans have used the same concept to develop architected materials. By changing the geometry of the unit cells that make up these materials, researchers can customize the material’s mechanical, thermal, or acoustic properties. Architected materials are used in many applications, from shock-absorbing packing foam to heat-regulating radiators.

It's been way too long! But no, I am not dead yet. And if I'm not dead yet, the projects don't stop. Please stay tuned for some brand new toys in the attic!

Worked on my velociraptor for the first time in a while, just a few more drafts to go I think. I might make a mount for it - heck if a mount is popular, I may make a mount for my other models too.

I've actually made these. Four folds (by my count) and one cut. Very satisfying to unfold and see the star emerge.

The video says "Christmas decorations," but really -- aren't stars for any day?

Proper closed captions. No eye contact.

TREEHOUSES Schematics available -> LINK IN BIO New DIY cut & fold project . This set is a simplified adaptation of the the « Tiny Houses » set. They hold together with only a few dots of glue instead of slots, which makes the models much easier to cut and assemble . #kirigami #origami #diy #papercraft #cutandfold #cardstock #paperart https://www.instagram.com/p/ConKBQluxBI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Laser-patterned thin films that swell into kirigami-like structures offer new opportunities in hydrogel technology

New options for making finely structured soft, flexible and expandable materials called hydrogels have been developed by researchers at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT). Their work extends the emerging field of "kirigami hydrogels," in which patterns are cut into a thin film allowing it to later swell into complex hydrogel structures. The research is published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials. Hydrogels have a network of water-attracting (hydrophilic) molecules, allowing their structure to swell substantially when exposed to water that becomes incorporated within the molecular network. Researchers Daisuke Nakagawa and Itsuo Hanasaki worked with an initially dry film composed of nanofibers of cellulose, the natural material that forms much of the structure of plant cell walls.

Paper Dandy’s Horrorgami: 20 Gruesome Scenes

Marc Hagan-Guirey

Laurence King Publishing 2015

The Japanese term for cut and folded paper art is kirigami. These 20 kirigami sculptures of horror scenes—the House of Usher, murder mansion, haunted house, Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory, etc.—are very cool. And this book will instruct you on how to create them with instructions and templates for each. It was a gift, but the question remains: am I actually going to do this? It looks quite complicated to me. Although I have to say that the alien abduction scene and the kaiju attacking the city scene are pretty tempting. Maybe one day.

Yet more on flat folding and angled Kirigami

1 and 2 are the routine case where the horizontals (crease lines) are parallel to each other and result in a flat folding piece. In 1 the special case is that the centre point of the rectangle sits on the page crease and so the top and bottom bits show symmetry. In 2 the general case is that another crease is required placed horizontally such that AB=CD.

3 and 4 are the special and general cases where the creases that are horizontal in 1 and 2 are angled. In 3 the top and bottom are symmetrical about the mid-line crease. In four a crease line is constructed such that AB=CD and EF=GH, note that AE and DH need not be symmetrical.

Structures can be built across the oblique creases AE, BF, and DH but the verticals of these structure must be perpendicular to them, not the central crease, for flat folding.

If there were a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Copy Paper, they would really hate me since much has been sacrificed while trying to prove to myself that I understand these rules.
