Description
The Miura Fold is a flat-foldable origami pattern, a type of tessellation composed of repeating parallelograms. This unique folding method allows a large sheet to be compactly folded and unfolded in a single continuous motion, making it highly efficient for applications like map folding or deployable structures.
