Fold-and-cut theorem

The fold-and-cut theorem states that any shape with straight sides can be cut from a single (idealized) sheet of paper by folding it flat and making a single straight complete cut. Such shapes include polygons, which may be concave, shapes with holes, and collections of such shapes (i.e. the regions need not be connected). The corresponding problem that the theorem solves is known as the fold-and-cut problem, which asks what shapes can be obtained by the so-called fold-and-cut method. A particular instance of the problem, which asks how a particular shape can be obtained by the fold-and-cut method, is known as a fold-and-cut problem. (Wikipedia).

Ruby On Ales 2016: Fold, Paper, Scissors... by Amy Wibowo

This talk looks beyond origami as a childhood pastime and an art form and instead, explores origami as a source of many interesting mathematical problems, including one called the fold-and-cut problem. The fold and cut theorem states that it is possible, given a piece of paper and any poly

Erik Demaine - New Ways to Fold a Cube from Paper - CoM Oct 2021

What shapes of paper can fold into a unit cube? This seemingly simple question has many interesting answers and open problems, depending on what type of folding is allowed. In particular, we’ll see a new way to fold a 3 × 3 square into a unit cube using horizontal, vertical, and diagonal c
