Origami7 is a collection of papers published for the 7th International Meeting on Origami in Science, Mathematics and Education (7OSME), held at Oxford University in the United Kingdom from September 4–7, 2018. 7OSME is the seventh conference in a series dedicated to research in the applications of origami and folding in the conference title fields, as well as in technology, design and history.
Volume 3: Engineering One
With a preface by Zhong You


Papers on engineering. Papers published include research into diverse folding applications and products, adding strength to defensive shields, reinforcing tube strength, development of space sails, and the applications of folding processes to robotics. Some papers also explore the mechanical properties of the Miura fold, curved folding, and tessellations.

About the Author

Lang is recognized as one of the leading theorists of the mathematics of origami. He has developed ways to algorithmetize the design process for origami,[7] and is the author of the proof of the completeness of the Huzita–Hatori axioms. Lang specializes in finding real-world applications for the various theories of origami he has developed. These included designing folding patterns for a German airbag manufacturer.
