Abstract

We introduce Ori-TENG, a design and fabrication framework for 3D printed origami tessellations that function as triboelectric sensors and energy harvesters. Ori-TENG structures are 3D printed flat in a single step, then folded, with internal electrical routing optimized for both folding mechanics and triboelectric performance.
