Origami can provide unique inspiration when designing engineered systems because it promotes multiple configurations, compact storage, and quick deployablility.
Origami, the ancient art of paper folding, is finding numerous uses in scientific and engineering applications because of the combined advances in mathematics, computer science, and computational geometry.
Engineers have taken an interest in origami and developing it further for applications.
Origami structures morph between 2D and 3D configurations, and their efficient shape reconfigurations show potential for many engineering applications.
Self-folding structures are beneficial for a wide variety of applications including biomedical and electronics products.
A new approach for obtaining the crease patterns of foldable conical structures from crease patterns of cylindrical structures based on the origami folding theory using conformal mapping is presented in this paper.
