ORNL’s Origami-Inspired Process Cuts Composite Fabrication Costs by 90%
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory‘s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility have developed a hybrid additive manufacturing process that takes its structural logic from origami, printing directly onto flexible fabric substrates to produce flat panels that fold into finished three-dimensional components, without any mold required. The work, led by Steven Guzorek of ORNL’s Manufacturing Science Division, is…
