Technological Breakthroughs
Origami Engineering
3D printing
Origami Engineering
Products that can easily unfold and refold, inspired by
the Japanese paper art form. Activated through
electricity, magnetics, or heats.
Uses: Medical equipment, portable items (camping
equipment), items that travel into space.
How this could effect the market?
businesses will look for mechanical engineers to build, test,
and design such products.
3D Printing
Computer-generated models are printed, much like 2D
paper, but in 3D
Easy to replicate, good for making prototypes, and
making complex inner structures while being cheaper.
How this could effect mechanical engineers as
designers?
More work involved with computers.
