In this paper, the authors will present a new strategy combining folding and kirigami approaches, entitled slit-folding. Cutting slits and removing (or adding) material along foldlines leads to interesting results and new folding mechanisms. The study of the possible slits’ geometries and their relation to the adjacent foldlines allow for better control of these mechanisms that have a 3D minimal energy equilibrium state after stitching their seamlines. This paper will give an overview of this particular system.

Abstract
In this paper, the authors will present a new strategy combining folding and kirigami approaches, entitled slit-folding. Cutting slits and removing (or adding) material along foldlines leads to interesting results and new folding mechanisms. The study of the possible slits’ geometries and their relation to the adjacent foldlines allow for better control of these mechanisms that have a 3D minimal energy equilibrium state after stitching their seamlines. This paper will give an overview of this particular system.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
