Each module forms one face of the finished cube. The six modules required for this design were developed from the traditional Japanese paperfold commonly known as the menko. Isao Honda's World of Origami (published in 1965) appears to have the same model, where it is called a "cubical box". The cube is pictured twice (from slightly different angles) and is identified in the accompanying text as a tamatebako (magic treasure chest). It contains a print that shows a group of traditional origami models, one of which is a modular cube. The first historical evidence for a modular origami design comes from a Japanese book by Hayato Ohoka published in 1734 called Ranma Zushiki. History A kusudama, the traditional Japanese precursor to modular origami Any other usage is generally discouraged. Typically this means using separate linking units hidden from sight to hold parts of the construction together. More than one type of module can still be used. There is a common misconception that treats all multi-piece origami as modular. The additional restrictions that distinguish modular origami from other forms of multi-piece origami are using many identical copies of any folded unit, and linking them together in a symmetrical or repeating fashion to complete the model.
However, all the other rules of origami still apply, so the use of glue, thread, or any other fastening that is not a part of the sheet of paper is not generally acceptable in modular origami. Modular origami can be classified as a sub-set of multi-piece origami, since the rule of restriction to one sheet of paper is abandoned. These insertions create tension or friction that holds the model together.ĭefinition and restrictions Examples of modular origami made up of Sonobe units Modular origami or unit origami is a two-stage paperfolding technique in which several, or sometimes many, sheets of paper are first folded into individual modules, or units, and then assembled into an integrated flat shape or three-dimensional structure, usually by inserting flaps into pockets created by the folding process. Modular origami A stellated icosahedron made from custom papers ( May 2009) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. Modular 6-Pointed Star Step 13: Repeat Steps 10 to 12 for the rest of the units.įor the 6th and final unit, fold the bottom flap upwards into itself.Īnd insert the right tip of the final unit into the first unit.This article includes a list of general references, but it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. Modular 6-Pointed Star Step 12: Fold the bottom flap of Unit#1 over and tuck it into the left flap of Unit#2. Slide Unit#1 into Unit#2 so that points a and b line up with one another. Modular 6-Pointed Star Step 11: Bring 2 units together to start the assembly. And this completes your modular unit! We need 6 of these to make a modular 6-pointed star, obviously. Modular 6-Pointed Star Step 10: Fold the right side back to the center. Modular 6-Pointed Star Step 9: Recrease the 2 diagonal creases into valley and mountain folds as shown below. We're going to fold the paper over and extend the crease F-G all the way to the edge of the paper. Modular 6-Pointed Star Step 8: Here's the 2nd unusual step. Modular 6-Pointed Star Step 7: Unfold the paper.
The crease should extend from the center crease to the left edge of paper. Fold point C to somewhere along line D-E. Modular 6-Pointed Star Step 6: This is somewhat an unusual step. Modular 6-Pointed Star Step 5: Fold up the bottom tip. Modular 6-Pointed Star Step 4: Fold both sides back to the center. Crease from the edge to the diagonal crease you made in Step 2. Modular 6-Pointed Star Step 3: Fold point A to point B. Modular 6-Pointed Star Step 2: Fold both sides to meet in the center. If you're using origami paper, start with the color side down.įold paper in half on the vertical horizontal axis. Modular 6-Pointed Star Step 1: For this origami, we used a 4 inch x 4 inch (10cm x 10cm) square printer paper which has the same color on both sides. Made this origami?
