MIT Robot News: MIT engineers use kirigami to make ultrastrong, lightweight structures
Kirigami, a form of origami that involves cutting and folding paper, is being used to create ultra-strong and lightweight structures. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new technique that combines kirigami with 3D printing to create structures that are stronger and lighter than traditional materials. The new technique uses a … [Read more...] about MIT Robot News: MIT engineers use kirigami to make ultrastrong, lightweight structures
