Modular origami polyhedra (platonic solids) - tetrahedron, icosahedron & dodecahedron - published in Unit Origami Wonderland by Tomoko Fuse
Typically, most structures and devices that can be reconfigured are designed with application specific requirements. Inspired by modular origami ideas, Overveldeet al. present a mechanical metamaterial enabling the design of three-dimensional structures of arbitrary architecture with tunable shape, volume and stiffness.

Who needs glue when you can fold paper like this
Modular origami (also known as unit origami) is a category of models which are built from multiple sheets of paper, connected by means of folding. Individual sheets are folded into units which are usually all identical or very similar.
Icosahedron Modular Origami: Create your own nerdy icosahedron with some simple modular origami. Ok, technically it's not "origami" origami because the units are made of rectangle pieces of paper but if you call it origami I won't hold it against you :) It can take awhile to f…

Spotted in the MAKE Flickr pool, this beautiful modular origami construction, Ã la Tomoko Fuse, from user fdecomite. Its formal title, Giant short nanotube, provides a rare opportunity to observe a double oxymoron in the wild.
For the Museum of Mathematics Last column, we saw some of the basics of modular origami with the Sonobe unit. Today's post is mostly a gallery of a
A few months ago, I went to a creative origami lunchtime session organised by some lovely people at $WORK. I'd done origami a bit when I was younger, but mostly just frogs and cranes, which have since helped me while away the hours when invigilating exams. However, at this lunchtime session I was shown how ...
Day 79 - Origami Tomoko Fuse Espiral Origami Tomoko fuse espiral is a modular origami model.It has 4 units.The modules are really simple to fold so is the model.This model is created by Tomoko Fuse and the design is found in her book Let's Fold Spirals.The book is in Japanese but the instructions are pretty much self explanatory It needs big square sheets of paper.They can be single side coloured or double side coloured.I would suggest to use big one side clouyred square papers and preferably the four units of different colour as it looks really good if the modules are of different colour. You can follow the video by Origamiancy This video is really easy to follow.It has the tutorial for both the units and the final assembly of the units to get the sprial. The actual fold in this model start while assembling and not in the units.It doesnot use glue to assemble the units rather it uses folding :) Here is my Espiral.

A kusudama is a modular origami ball and many of them look quite beautiful. In this post we take a look at 30 of our favourites.
Modular Sonobe Origami Ball in blue, green, and yellow. Made from 270 sheets of 9cm x 9cm semi-stiff paper. There are 4 different shades of each base color (b, g, y). Each unit is handmade by me =) Diameter/Height - 9.5" (24.1cm) to 10.5" (26.6cm) Circumference - 31"(78.7cm) at narrowest to 34" (86.4cm) at widest Geometrically, this model is not a perfect sphere, but it is structured on a pattern of pentagons and hexagons (similar to that seen on a soccer ball). There is no glue or tape needed or used in the construction of this model. [If you are crazy (and kind) enough to want to buy this piece, please contact me. It can definitely be custom made in any colours or sizes.]

Modular Origami
Origami artist and youtuber. Here you can see some of my work and learn how to fold my creations on my videos and diagrams.
Brazil-based origami artist Jo Nakashima (previously) continues to create seemingly impossible kinetic origami out of modular cubes. Each interconnected box is individually folded and then strategically incorporated into the larger unit to create a moveable structure that shape-shifts in the user’s hands. The 9-unit design shown below is based on the “Pandora’s Box” by Yami Yamauchi, and Nakashima describes the difficulty level as “easy”. See more of Nakashima’s creations, including frequent step-by-step tutorials, on YouTube and Instagram. More
