Boundary curvature guided programmable shape-morphing kirigami sheets [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Kirigami, a traditional paper cutting art, offers a promising strategy for 2D-to-3D shape morphing through cut-guided deformation. Existing kirigami designs for target 3D curved shapes rely on intricate cut patterns in thin sheets, making the inverse ...
