Origami Simulator VS Shapeways

Htis it possible to export/integrate pepakura models to origami simulator(https://origamisimulator.org/)? Source: about 1 year ago

It's better to use more modern tools. I personally use this Origami Simulator from the MIT. You just need to draw your design in Illustrator or any vector software, export it as svg, and upload it to the simulator. It has lots of control and even strain visualisation. Source: about 1 year ago

It's kludgy, but you can approximate this with Fusion360's sheet metal tools. If your flat-pack is well structured, you can just throw it at Origami Simulator and export an OBJ or STL: https://origamisimulator.org/ Unsurprisingly, Amanda Ghassei is behind both Fantastic Fold and Origami Simulator: https://amandaghassaei.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

I bet you will find https://origamisimulator.org/ very disappointing, but it is awfully useful for trying out new computationally designed patterns. Source: over 1 year ago

You’re right, It's mostly about the material. There are several patterns that can do the trick. There has been a great website recently that catalogs all of them. With interactive demos too. Source: over 1 year ago

You can even download a CAD model of the gear you want & scale it down to the size you're looking to use, and then get it made from shapeways.com or find an SLA printer or something. Source: about 2 years ago
