ABSTRACT

In recent years, many methods for designing origami pieces based on mathematical theories have been developed. One of the most powerful approaches has been implemented in the software system TreeMaker [Lang 06]. Although origami pieces designed using this software are restricted to a particular structure referred to as a uniaxial origami base, many complex and realistic works of art have been created. Describing the sequence of folds used to create a complex work is difficult. However, traditional origami diagrams, namely, a sequence of step-by-step illustrations, are still used, even today.
