Origami CAD is a neurosymbolic pipeline for designing origami-based force response metamaterials. These metamaterials are used in fields such as soft robotics, deployable structures, and mechanical computing. However, designing such metamaterials is very difficult and current methods are too limited to produce results desired by engineers and researchers. Origami CAD takes a description of a desired force response behavior and designs an origami structure with that behavior. It is able to design desired structures faster than previous methods and also produce designs for target behaviors that previous methods could not reach easily or at all.
