University of Houston Develops 3D Printed Ceramic Origami Structures for Biomedical and Aerospace Applications
A research team at the University of Houston has developed a new method for fabricating flexible, damage-resistant ceramic structures by integrating origami-inspired geometries with a biocompatible elastomeric coating. The approach leverages 3D printing to produce complex Miura-ori ceramic architectures, which are then coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a hyperelastic silicone polymer. The result is a class […]
