Origami Scaling & SizingOrigami & Folding

Calculate required starting square paper size to achieve a specific target finished 3D model size for standard designs (e.g., Crane, Box, Kawasaki Rose, Dragon).

Folding Parameters

Origami is the intersection of mathematical geometry and material engineering. Optimal folds are highly dependent on fiber lengths and wood grain direction.

Theoretical Origami Sizing
Scaling Proportions Ratio50% of paper side

Simple fold. Wingspan is approx. 50% of starting square diagonal.

Calculated Model Size12.0 cmExpected finished spans
Minimum Starting Paper Side24 cmSquare starting dimension
3D Sizing & Layer Bulk note:Complex 3D origami designs accumulate considerable paper bulk inside. Consider choosing a larger paper square for designs with high fold counts to avoid tearing or bursting seams.
