paper engineering

Paper engineering is the art and science of designing and creating interactive paper structures, such as pop-up books, cards, and models. It combines principles of design, mechanics, and artistry to manipulate paper in ways that create movement, depth, and visual interest. By carefully cutting, folding, and assembling paper, engineers transform flat surfaces into dynamic, three-dimensional forms. This craft not only serves educational and entertainment purposes but also plays a role in product packaging and marketing, captivating audiences with imaginative and functional designs.
