3D printed grids have a variety of amazing applications and are increasingly used to customize the production of medical implants, lightweight industrial parts and more.

Now, a research team at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands has developed a new way to create a three-dimensional grid structure that relies on complex folding techniques rather than 3D printing. The team said its innovative approach could provide a more 3D lattice structure than the actual 3D printed counterpart.

A research team led by Professor Amir Zadpoor ​​said that the new method of producing 3D mesh structures is inspired by origami, which is the art of folding paper into complex shapes in Japan.

However, unlike conventional origami, the folded 3D structure begins with a flat shape that is patterned using advanced electron beam nanolithography, and can then be folded into a three-dimensional shape with a complex internal shape - a 3D printed grid, But obviously it has easier access to the inner surface.

This improved channel level is reported to provide greater functionality to the grid, which can be designed to meet certain characteristics and function as a meta-material. Folded 3D structures can be used to create flexible electronic devices, create new metamaterials, and develop medical implants with tissue regeneration characteristics.

Zadpoor ​​said: "Our access to the internal surface area of ​​the 3D printed grid structure is very limited. The combination of free-form surface decoration and lattice form seems impossible. But inspired by Japanese origami art, we have found a way. , allowing this combination."
