Cushioned barriers are highly desirable within the packaging industry as they provide additional content protection with high energy absorption and are commonly disposable. However, current cushioning designs typically require a significant increase in volume, which increases the shipping and handling costs and the environmental impact.
Researchers at Rutgers University US investigated origami-based deployable cushion designs that can be efficiently stowed and deployed to protect critical regions of the package during transport.
In an article, a methodology to efficiently describe, and evaluate a large number of potential origami designs as cushioning structures is introduced.
