Hello McNeel community and @DanielPiker ,
Could you check my rhino file or image below to give me an idea if I can fold this pattern with kangaroo or not? If it is possible, how should I define the naked edges, mountains and valleys? many thanks in advance
After all the dotted- and dashed lines have been scored, you can see from the underside of the card a neat pattern of ridges where the embossing point has passed. All the fold lines are ready for the folding stage later on. But first we have some cutting to do...
The word kirigami sounds a lot like origami, doesn't it? And that is because the word kirigami is a modern Japanese word, taking its structure from the paper folding art of origami. In this article we have 2 great kirigami projects to try out. You can focus more on folds with our kirigami bow project, or try out a kirigami template and a more architectural finish with our kirigami arch project.
In Japanese, Kiru means to cut and Gami means paper, so it is no wonder that the word kirigami was adopted for this art form, which involves a lot of similar folds as origami, but in kirigami you cut the paper as well as folding it.
You want a smooth paper without too many visible fibres to help you get nice clean cut lines in kirigami. Homemade paper is not a good option for this, but it is still great fun to make with our how to make paper tutorial! Instead, try staring out with a 160gsm paper thickness, which is rigid enough to support a folded shape, but not so thick as to create too much bulk in your kirigami project. Origami is typically practised with much thinner paper, but we think 160gsm is a better match for kirigami, especially when you are getting to grips with the kirigami technique.
Why not try out our kirigami bow project below? Or if you want to try out some simple kirigami architecture using a kirigami template, try out our kirigami arch project. Or why not take a look at some of the other kirigami templates and techniques we have found online to help you discover the kirigami template that is right for you.

We demonstrate wireless remote control of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) shape transformations of specially designed kirigami patterns by application of static magnetic fields. The kirigami patterns consist of hinge-linked periodic unit blocks composed of magnetic-particle-elastomer composites. By designing the axis of magnetic anisotropy in each unit block and determining the placement of the hinges that link the individual unit blocks, 2D and 3D transformations of the patterns were demonstrated under application of uniform magnetic fields with specific field directions. Magnetic nanoparticles in an elastomer matrix within unit blocks were aligned in-plane or out-of-plane with respect to the frame of the individual unit blocks by application of magnetic fields. Such 2D and 3D actuations of kirigami patterns might offer a first step toward the development of spatiotemporal actuation and transformation of more complex 3D shapes using magnetic-particle-elastomer composites.
We have produced stretchable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) using the concept of kirigami, i.e., a combination of folding and cutting. The designated kirigami patterns have been discovered and implemented to achieve great stretchability (over 150%) to LIBs that are produced by standardized battery manufacturing. It is shown that fracture due to cutting and folding is suppressed by plastic rolling, which provides kirigami LIBs excellent electrochemical and mechanical characteristics. The kirigami LIBs have demonstrated the capability to be integrated and power a smart watch, which may disruptively impact the field of wearable electronics by offering extra physical and functionality design spaces.
Three kirigami patterns are utilized, as illustrated in Fig. 1, with (a) a zigzag-cut pattern, (b) a cut-N-twist pattern and (c) a cut-N-shear pattern. The zigzag-cut pattern (Fig. 1a) represents one of the most commonly seen kirigami patterns and is produced by cutting a folded stack of foil asymmetrically between the neighboring creases, which creates zigzag-liked cuttings in the longitudinal direction. The zigzag pattern can be stretched beyond its length in the planar state, which is the advantage of kirigami. To accommodate stretching, the out-of-plane deformation (or equivalently, buckling) occurs at the vicinity of cuts. The level of stretchability depends on the length of the cut and is a function of buckling amplitude. To eliminate the out-of-plane deformation, one of the advantages of kirigami compared with the origami pattern, the cut-N-twist pattern (Fig. 1b) is utilized, in which a folded stack of foil is symmetrically cut at all creases and then unfolded to a planar state, followed by twisting at the two ends. The twisted structure is shown in the bottom panel of Fig. 1b and analogous to a twisted telephone cord. This pattern represents a locked structure in the sense that the out-of-plane deformation, induced by stretching, is constrained and rotation occurs at the cuts to accommodate stretching. The packing density of cut-N-twist pattern is defined by the width of each face. To increase the packing density, the cut-N-shear pattern (Fig. 1c) is introduced, where folding is employed after symmetric cutting and then the folded structure is subjected to shear, thus the packing density doubles compared with that for the cut-N-twist pattern. The stretching is also achieved by the rotations of the cuts and no out-of-plane deformation is involved.
(a) A zigzag-cut pattern, where the out-of-plane deformation occurs to accommodate stretching. (b) A cut-N-twist pattern, where the rotation is involved to accommodate stretching and no out-of-plane deformation. (c) A cut-N-shear pattern, where the packing density doubles compared with that of the cut-N-twist pattern. Rotation is involved to accommodate stretching and no out-of-plane deformation.
