PART B_2

The State-of-the-Art Origami Engineering

Dr. Miura Koryo’s folding process is not only seen and used in science. In fact, Miura-Ori can be found in things we normally use.

For example, a map is folded at the right angles into a small size. Once unfolded, it is uneasy to fold it back. We may end up tearing the map after it is repeatedly folded and unfolded. The solution lies in Miura-Ori: we can open and close a map with a single pull at two diagonal corners. One-pull maps are also available at stores. Another example is drink cans. The diamond-shaped patterns in drink cans save material while maintaining the same structural strength. Miura-Ori can be found in nature as well. After a bud breaks, leaves spread out to get as much sunlight as possible. Additionally, flying insects take out and unfold their wings from their outer shells to fly. If Dr. Miura Koryo had not invented Miura-Ori, these wonders of nature would be unnoticed.

People can learn the folding technique through a website, though much practice is needed. On the other hand, people will be impressed by the state-of-the-art origami engineering once we master it.
