Elasto-Capillary Folding Using Stop-Programmable Hinges Fabricated by 3D Micro-Machining.

We show elasto-capillary folding of silicon nitride objects with accurate folding angles between flaps of (70.6 ± 0.1)° and demonstrate the feasibility of such accurate micro-assembly with a final folding angle of 90°. The folding angle is defined by stop-programmable hinges that are fabricated star...
