Division of Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) EFRI FY 2014 Solicitation The EFRI Office has launched a new funding opportunity for interdisciplinary teams of researchers to embark on rapidly advancing frontiers of fundamental engineering research.
For this new solicitation, we will consider proposals that aim to investigate emerging frontiers ideas on: Letter of Intent (required) Due Date: September 18, 2013 Preliminary Proposal (required) Due Date: October 25, 2013. National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering Webcast. Modular origami. Modular origami or unit origami is a paperfolding technique which uses two or more sheets of paper to create a larger and more complex structure than would not be possible using single-piece origami techniques.
Each individual sheet of paper is folded into a module, or unit, and then modules are assembled into an integrated flat shape or three-dimensional structure by inserting flaps into pockets created by the folding process. These insertions create tension or friction that holds the model together. Definition and restrictions[edit] Examples of modular origami made up of Sonobe units Modular origami can be classified as a sub-set of multi-piece origami, since the rule of restriction to one sheet of paper is abandoned. Modular: free diagrams instructing you how to fold modular origami models. These modulars are made available by the origami community at large.
If you have a model that you would like to share, or if you see your model here and would like it removed, please Contact Us. Diagrams are intended for personal use. Copyright of the models lie with the origami creators and designers. Please contact the designer and/or creator directly for non-private usage of a model and/or artwork. Some people love modular origami. Ahn_advmat_2010.
