The Miura fold (ミウラ折り, Miura-ori) is a method of folding a flat surface such as a sheet of paper into a smaller area. The fold is named for its inventor, Japanese astrophysicist Kōryō Miura. [1] The crease patterns of the Miura fold form a tessellation of the surface by parallelograms. In one direction, the creases lie along ...
Book folding is the stage of the book production process in which the pages of the book are folded after printing and before binding. [1] Until the middle of the 19th century, book folding was done by hand, and was a trade. In the 1880s and 1890s, book folding machines by Brown and Dexter came onto the market, and by the 1910s hand-folding was ...
Geometric Origami. Geometric Origami is a book on the mathematics of paper folding, focusing on the ability to simulate and extend classical straightedge and compass constructions using origami. It was written by Austrian mathematician Robert Geretschläger [ de] and published by Arbelos Publishing (Shipley, UK) in 2008.
The endpapers or end-papers of a book (also known as the endsheets) are the pages that consist of a double-size sheet folded, with one half pasted against an inside cover (the pastedown), and the other serving as the first free page (the free endpaper or flyleaf). [1] Thus, the front endpapers precede the title page and the text, whereas the ...
Origami ( 折り紙, Japanese pronunciation: [oɾiɡami] or [oɾiꜜɡami], from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper" (kami changes to gami due to rendaku)) is the Japanese art of paper folding. In modern usage, the word "origami" is often used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin.
The temporary tape is used to hold the pattern in place while the craftsperson creates the design. Iris folding patterns are available from booksellers or as downloadable files made available on Internet web sites. Other craft persons doing iris folding create their own patterns. Further reading.

Mathematics of paper folding. The discipline of origami or paper folding has received a considerable amount of mathematical study. Fields of interest include a given paper model's flat-foldability (whether the model can be flattened without damaging it), and the use of paper folds to solve up-to cubic mathematical equations. [1]
Instead, it provides designs for folding polyhedra, each out of a single uncut sheet of origami paper. After a brief introduction to the mathematics of polyhedra and the concepts used to design origami polyhedra, book presents designs for folding 72 different shapes, organized by their level of difficulty.
