Abstract:
Sliceform paper art is an art form where long strips of paper are cut, folded and slotted together to form intricate geometric configurations. We present a system that streamlines the design process for such artwork, which are conventionally highly time-consuming to assemble. Main features of the system include a powerful user interface for specification of custom pattern motifs and an algorithm that traces patterns in a polygonal tile-based geometric configuration to compute strip dimensions. We exhibit some representative results generated by our system.
