Emerging kirigami/origami techniques, neither subtractive nor additive, provide an automated fashion for 3D micro-/nanofabrication through folding, bending and twisting of 2D materials/structures.

The aforementioned studies involved what are essentially types of high-tech origami, as their 3D shape derived from their 2D surface using nothing but a number of folds.
