It looks awesome, but...

Why oh why would you go public on this before the app is available in the store? I looked at this thing and said "I want it." Will I remember to look again once it is available?

They did ask for your email so that you'll get notified when it launches.

Hopefully they've got remarketing tags setup to the hilt.

If you are interested in printing foldable paper models, also have a look at Pepakura Designer (http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/). This takes 3d models and unwraps them to printable images.

No connection, other than having used it's output to entertain children at various times.

I bought one of these off Foldable (https://www.foldable.me/) and while it was quite cool how it all came together, I was a little disappointed by the lack of customisation options.

This looks to rectify that and make a more personalised creation, great work!

Foldify is so much better than "Origami for Westerners", I think they may even get a season push, considering the coming festivities. How good would 8 bit squares and 8 bit Santa look on the tree. Hope it comes through for the makers.

Wow, that is cool!

Goes to show that not every useful application for iOS has been built yet, or that the unmade ones have to be extremely complicated.

Is this a pivot from "Foldable me" or something along those lines? I remember seeing that on here awhile ago. I like this idea!

Looks like a copy rather than a pivot.

I just saw this on Twitter. Very impressive! Talk about a great experience.

Why are the lines on the outside of the figure!?
[+] khangtoh|13 years ago|reply
It's because the foldable model is printed out on a single side and it's probably going to be a pain in the ass to have users print 2-sided with lines on the other.

What kind of paper do you use with this? It looks stronger than regular printer paper.

This looks awesome. Will it be available for Android?
[+] Tloewald|13 years ago|reply
Does android offer a printing API? I know there are individual apps...
