geometric folding

Geometric folding involves transforming a two-dimensional shape into a three-dimensional form by bending along designated lines or surfaces. Imagine folding a paper along specific creases to create a three-dimensional object, like an origami crane. This process uses principles of geometry to determine how each fold changes the shape's structure, angles, and connections. It’s widely used in design, engineering, and manufacturing to create complex forms from flat materials efficiently and accurately, enabling the construction of structures, devices, and artistic works through precise folding patterns rooted in mathematical understanding.
