Miura-Ori folded origami


Overview

Miura folds are considered shape-memory origami because the fold can be “remembered” - that is, after unfolding, the sheet can easily be re-folded and returned to its compact shape.

The Miura fold, or Miura-ori, was used in Japan’s Space Flyer Unit (a satellite launched in 1995), and has influenced the development of other folds that allow materials to be packed into a compact shape and then unfold in one continuous motion.
