       | I'm a big fan of the RES (Rotational Erection System) work that
       | Yoshinobu Miyamoto has been making lately with Origami Simulator.
       | He builds the crease forms parametrically in Cuttle (CAD tool I'm
       | building), and then can copy/paste into Origami Simulator to see
       | the folded form:

       | Something fun you can do with this is export the SVG files (File
       | -> Save Pattern as SVG...) and edit them as necessary in order to
       | use a die cutter like a cricut to easily make some cool stuff! Of
       | course, doing it the old fashioned way is better in many ways.
       | 
       | I use a cutter tip and a foil transfer tip (a blunt metal pen-
       | shaped tip) in combination. The cutter cuts, and the transfer tip
       | helps establish crease marks.
       | 
       | It's not ideal because you can't easily establish creases for
       | folds in both directions, but if you want you can use a template
       | to align your paper on a mat so you can do a second pass with the
       | paper flipped over to get creases going the opposite direction.
       | I've found it's not really necessary unless the paper is thicker.

       | This is one of many cool projects from Amanda Ghassaei [0]. It's
       | from 2017 when she was at MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms.
       | 
       | She went on to do some work based on this at Adobe [1], and is
       | now doing independent consulting.
