So, for example, a 2D kirigami sheet with a circular boundary will, when cut correctly, fold into a sphere. Using 3D simulation software, they were able to rapidly prototype a number of different ...

The 3D shape which a kirigami sheet takes on is determined not only by the slit patterns and the way in which it's manipulated, but also by the shape of the flat sheet.

Researchers have developed a kirigami-inspired mechanical computer that uses a complex structure of rigid, interconnected polymer cubes to store, retrieve and erase data without relying on ...
