But the TU Delft scientists have created a new technique that requires only a common 3-D printer and ubiquitous material. Among other applications, their research has the potential to greatly improve bone implants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers at TU Delft have combined origami techniques and 3-D printing to create flat structures that can fold themselves into 3-D structures like tulips.
