Abstract
En 中文
The challenge of creating innovative crease patterns in origami engineering is crucial, as it not only drives advancements in various fields but also unlocks new possibilities for solving complex technical problems. This study introduces an exploratory design method for generating origami patterns, with a particular focus on origami-based design applications in engineering. By applying origami theorems and design rules at the vertex level, the method enables the construction of multi-vertex origami tessellations. A methodological framework was developed using a parametric design tool coupled with optimization and brute-force solvers to automate the design process. The results demonstrate that the complex task of generating origami tessellations from scratch can be effectively decomposed into smaller, manageable design steps, which are iteratively executed to generate complete patterns. The modular and interchangeable nature of the design rules and constraints allows navigation across extended design domains, both with and without predetermined design goals. This approach not only simplifies the design process but also enhances its efficiency, providing a valuable tool for both experienced origami engineers and newcomers. Given the transdisciplinary scope and multiscale applications of origami-based mechanisms, this study has significant implications and potential to expand the use of origami-based designs across a diverse range of engineering disciplines.
