The patented Industrial Origami Technology centers around the concept of stamping or cutting "smiles" into sheet material:

	Defined diagonal straps pull the "smiles" together during folding to draw the "smiles" into engagement
	The smile geometry "forces" the desired result and guarantees a high degree of precision
	Edge to face engagement bears compressive loads and provides unexpected strength and rigidity

Incorporation into Products. The Industrial Origami Technology is implemented through Industrial Origami's small software module add-on that integrates with industry-standard Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems. Simple training programs make design engineers productive quickly.

Existing Capital Equipment. Existing hard and soft tooling is used to stamp or cut the Industrial Origami features into the sheet materials. The stamped or cut materials are then folded to create the desired shape(s).

Broad Range of Thicknesses. The patented Industrial Origami Technology has been deployed in applications ranging from 0.01 inches up to 2.00 inches.

Materials. Although the Industrial Origami Technology has been most widely adopted in sheet metal applications, it can apply to plastics, composites, and other sheet products.

Benchmark Testing. Industrial Origami has performed benchmark testing for electromagnetic interference, 3-point bending, salt fog corrosion and fatigue. Benchmark tests have shown remarkable strength and unusual resistance to fatigue. Please contact us if interested in receiving White Papers.
