Origami-inspired Ceramic Structures- A Paradigm Shift for Brittle Materials

Our design introduces a unique approach to transform inherently brittle materials, such as ceramics, into adaptable and tough structures through the ancient art of origami, enabled by additive manufacturing (AM) and elastic coating.
