You might not need exotic manufacturing techniques to produce custom-shaped objects. If Harvard scientists have their way, you could start with little more than a sheet and some math. They've ...

So, for example, a 2D kirigami sheet with a circular boundary will, when cut correctly, fold into a sphere. Using 3D simulation software, they were able to rapidly prototype a number of different ...
