Kinematics Preservation Kinematics preserved indicates if the kinematics of the base origami model (a zero-thickness model) is preserved with the method. While matching kinematics may not be important for some applications, in many cases it will be essential to achieve the same degrees of freedom, the consistency, or the predictability of a motion identical to the origami model. Range of Motion (ROM) preserved indicates whether or not the range of motion, from fully folded to fully deployed, is preserved. Many methods do not allow for full range of motion due to clashes of panels/edges. In some applications full motion may not be required, but in many there is a need for the folds to move through the full 180◦.
