Several strategies are recently exploited to transform 2D sheets into desired 3D structures. For example, soft materials can be morphed into 3D continuously curved structures by inducing nonhomogeneous strain. On the other hand, rigid materials can be folded, often by origami/ kirigami-inspired approaches (i.e., flat sheets are folded along predesigned crease patterns). Here, for the first time, combining the two strategies, composite sheets are fabricated by embedding rigid origami/ kirigami skeleton with creases into heat shrinkable polymer sheets to create novel 3D structures. Upon heating, shrinkage of the polymer sheets is constrained by the origami/kirigami patterns, giving rise to laterally nonuniform strain. As a result, Gaussian curvature of the composite sheets is changed, and flat sheets are transformed into 3D curved structures. A series of 3D structures are folded using this approach, including cones and truncated pyramids with different base shapes. Flat origami loops are folded into step structures. Tessellation of origami loops is transformed into 3D checkerboard pattern.

“…However, the introduction of robotic and large-scale digital fabrication techniques is shifting this paradigm. This includes robotic assembly of masonry, including the usage of small drones [70], or macro-scale analogs of molecular self-assembly [71]. A second paradigm being challenged is the requirement of structural regularity and order.…”

a b s t r a c tThe surge of modern techniques to fabricate structured materials paired with our ever deeper understanding of complex forms of matter present us with the opportunity to make and study dramatically new forms of designed materials and structures. This movement is being fueled by recent and rapid developments in a variety of fields, including soft matter, materials science, computer assisted design and digital fabrication. Here, we present an overview of these recent trends based on a multidisciplinary meeting on Designer Matter that we organized June 22nd-June 24th, 2015, at AMOLF, Amsterdam.

“…Self-organization is an orderly process spontaneously arising in a system from local interactions of the parts of a disordered system. It is a decentralized process and hence no central agent controls it [38][39][40]. This phenomenon is observed in many physical, chemical and natural processes like swarming.…”

“…The concepts of Swarm Engineering (SE) in combination with self-organization principles are adopted in this study. Rules related to the geometry, environment and interactions between the tubulins and MAPs (agents) were developed according to the guidelines provided for the design of swarms [14,42] in combination with self-organization principles [40]. The swarm agents were designed to be autonomous, with an ability to sense and interact with the environment without any centralized control, while also maintaining coordination for task accomplishment [14,42,43].…”

Microtubules (MTs) are highly dynamic polymers distributed in the cytoplasm of a biological cell. Alpha and beta globular proteins constituting the heterodimer building blocks combine to form these tubules through polymerization, controlled by the concentration of Guanosine-triphosphate (GTPs) and other Microtubule Associated Proteins (MAPs). MTs play a crucial role in many intracellular processes, predominantly in mitosis, organelle transport and cell locomotion. Current research in this area is focused on understanding the exclusive behaviors of self-organization and their association with different MAPs through organized laboratory experiments. However, the intriguing intelligence behind these tiny machines resulting in complex self-organizing structures is mostly unexplored. In this study, we propose a novel swarm engineering framework in modeling rules for these systems, by combining the principles of design with swarm intelligence. The proposed framework was simulated on a game engine and these simulations demonstrated self-organization of rings and protofilaments in MTs. Analytics from these simulations assisted in understanding the influence of GTPs on protofilament formation. Also, results showed that the population density of GTPs rather than their bonding probabilities played a crucial role in polymerization in forming microtubule substructures.
