wing, which work as extensional and rotational springs between facets. André R. Studart
Inspired by this biological wing, we establish a spring origami model that
broadens the folding design space of traditional origami and allows for
the fabrication of precisely tunable, four-dimensional–printed objects
with programmable bioinspired morphing functionalities.
