Kirigami Techniques Turned Into Functional Designs
Original: Using Kirigami Techniques to Make Functional Designs https:// hackaday.com/2026/10/12/using- kirigami-techniques-to-make
A new write-up explores how kirigami, the Japanese art of cutting and folding paper, can be applied to practical engineering projects rather than decorative craft. The piece highlights examples spanning furniture, 3D printing hacks and other functional objects that use cuts and folds to create structures that transform or flex. Makers and science enthusiasts are sharing the article, with discussion centred on how paper-cutting principles can inspire printable, flat-pack designs.
Why now: Makers are interested in applying traditional paper-cutting art to practical 3D-printed and engineered designs.
