Mathematics and technical origami

 

The practice and study of origami encapsulates several subjects of mathematical interest. For instance, the problem of flat-foldability (whether a crease pattern can be folded into a 2-dimensional model) has been a topic of considerable mathematical study.

Technical origami

0Technical origami, known in Japanese as origami sekkei (折り紙設計?), is an origami design approach in which the model is conceived as an engineered crease pattern, rather than developed through trial-and-error.
