•New origami-inspired system turns flat-pack tubes into strong building materials
88% Informative
Engineers at RMIT University have designed an innovative tubular structural system that can be packed flat for easier transport and pop up into strong building materials.
The breakthrough is made possible by a self-locking system inspired by curved-crease origami.
Flat-pack tubes are already widely used in engineering and scientific applications, such as in biomedical devices, aerospace structures, robotics and civil construction.
