Lamina emergent mechanism

Lamina Emergent Mechanisms (also known as LEMs) are more commonly referred to as "Pop-up Mechanisms" as seen in "pop-up-books". LEM is the technical term of such mechanisms or engineering. LEMs are a subset of compliant mechanisms fabricated from planar materials (lamina) and have motion emerging from the fabrication plane. LEMs use compliance, or the deflection of flexible members to achieve motion.^[1]

Background

Ortho-Planar Mechanisms are an earlier concept similar to LEMs.^[2] More well known LEMs include pop-up books,^[3] flat-folding origami mechanisms, origami stents,^[4] and deployable mechanisms. The research in LEMs also overlaps with deployable structures,^[5] origami, kirigami, compliant mechanisms, microelectromechanical systems, packaging engineering,^[6] robotics,^[7] paper engineering, developable mechanisms, and more.
