Herein, we explore the possibility of utilizing origami engineering to divert the catastrophic failure nature of brittle materials into a graceful failure mode. To induce flexibility, we 3D printed a ceramic-based Miura-ori structure and coated it with a biocompatible hyperelastic polymer. We performed quasi-static and cyclic compression tests in three orthogonal directions on the printed origami structure with and without the hyperelastic coating and compared them with finite element simulations. Remarkably, the simulations closely matched the outcomes of the actual experiments. Through the combination of experiments and numerical simulations, we observed consistently higher toughness in the coated origami structure compared to the uncoated one. Additionally, the increase in toughness varied across directions, with the most significant improvement occurring in the least stiff direction.
