  3. Origami Formalism • Folding diagrams

  4. Origami Formalism • Folding patterns Robert Lang uses a computer program called TreeMakerto design his creations and a laser cutter to gently score the paper for quicker & easier folding.

  5.

  6. More Recent Origami • For centuries, origami patterns had at most thirty steps; now they can have hundreds • Complex origami is also more practical • Folding techniques applied to many things • medical, electrical, optical, or nanotechnical devices, strands of DNA • Applications with fixed size and shape but needing to be packed tightly and in an orderly way • Mitsubishi commercial • David Hart

  7. Getting started • Make a crane • Interactive instructions • YouTube • Folding diagramon the next slide • Crease pattern:
