The principles of origami (folding thin sheets), and kirigami (cutting and folding) can create advanced functional systems at multiple scales. The concepts allow for 3D self-assembly, deployment-stowing capabilities, shape morphing, property tuning, and adaptation for multiple functions. This mini-symposium aims to bring together researchers working in the areas of origami/kirigami structures and metamaterials, and to emphasize how 3D folding can enable advanced functionalities. Topics of interest include: mechanics of origami/kirigami; 2D fabrication for 3D self-assembly; active materials; actuation principles; bi-stable and multi-stable systems; programmable mechanical behaviors; tunable multi-physical properties; origami/kirigami-inspired metamaterials; robotic and functional applications; and others.
