  One-dimensional slender bodies can be deformed or shaped into spatially
complex curves relatively easily due to their inherent compliance. However,
traditional methods of fabricating complex spatial shapes are cumbersome, prone
to error accumulation and not amenable to elegant programmability. In this
letter, we introduce a one-dimensional origami based on attaching Miura-ori
that can fold into various programmed two or three-dimensional shapes. We study
the out-of-plane displacement characteristics of this origami and demonstrate
with examples, design of slender bodies that conform to programmed complex
spatial curves. Our study provides a new, accurate, and single actuation
solution of shape programmability.
