When can a net fold to a polyhedron.

Thérèse Biedl, Anna Lubiw, Julie Sun · 1999

In this paper, we study the problem of whether a polyhedron can be obtained from a net by folding along the creases. We show that this problem can be solved in polynomial time if the dihedral angle at each crease is given, and it becomes NP-hard if these angles are unknown. We also study the case when the net has rigid faces that should not intersect during the folding process.
