Origamizing 3D surface by symmetry constraints
Tomohiro Tachi · 2007
We present a new method for "origamizing" or designing the origami crease pattern to construct a given arbitrary polyhedral surface through user interaction. The author [2006a; 2006b] previously proposed a method for manually designing 3D origami surface based on aligning facets and "tucking molecules." However, crease pattern generated by such method is supposed to be super-complex and hard to be folded due to the general tucking molecules without symmetry.
