Industrial Origami

(OP)

I posted this originally in the Structural engineering other topics Forum (Forum507), but, as feared, it generated no replies. I thought I would repost it here to try to generate some dialog on this fabrication technique.

I am interested to get forum members thoughts on the manufacturing methods developed by Industrial Origami, Inc.



Here are some patents I have been able to locate:
06481259: Method for precision bending of a sheet of material and slit sheet therefor
WO04028937A2: TECHNIQUES FOR DESIGNING AND MANUFACTURING PRECISION-FOLDED, HIGH STRENGTH, FATIGUE-RESISTANT STRUCTURES AND SHEET THEREFOR
EP1347844A1: METHOD FOR PRECISION BENDING OF A SHEET OF MATERIAL AND SLIT SHEET THEREFOR

RE: Industrial Origami

Matthew,

I am currently working closely with Industrial Origami, and the development of this process for various applications.  There are opportunities in sheet metal prototyping, part & process cost reduction, and new product development.

Engineering design guides and software are in process, but not yet available.  

Do you have a more specific area in question?

Sincerely,
John Dwyer
