The geometry of origami: How to fold and cut complex shapes
In short: This lecture from MIT's Geometric Folding Algorithms course explores the mathematical logic behind
The video demonstrates specialized software designed to execute 'fold and cut' operations, a process where a single cut through a folded sheet of paper creates multiple complex shapes simultaneously. It provides a technical foundation for understanding how geometry governs physical folding.
The presentation covers specific algorithmic approaches, including the skeleton method versus the tree method, and addresses the constraints of odd-degree vertices. It also clarifies the disk-packing method, specifically defining the number of disks involved in these geometric transformations.
