Description
Primary barriers to greater implementation of deployable origami-adapted mechanisms are their manufacturability and robustness. This paper discusses manufacturability in the design of such mechanisms through presenting and examining three examples. Manufacturability lessons gathered from these examples include the importance of joint-panel interfaces and how techniques and approaches for origami-adapted design can be customized to meet the needs of a specific product. As the manufacturability of deployable origami-adapted products is addressed and improved, their robustness will also improve, thereby enabling greater use of origami-adapted design.
