Printed origami offers new technique for complex structures

The marriage of direct-printing and wet-folding origami techniques heralds a new method for creating complex three-dimensional structures for biocompatible devices, microscaffolding and other microsystems. Researchers use sheets printed with inks containing metallic, ceramic or plastic particles to fold complex structures not attainable by conventional direct-print assembly, such as an origami crane.
