Modular Woven Polyhedra


Models of this type are also automatically listed in: abstract modular, abstract, geometric, mathematical object, modular, multi-sheet, woven polyhedron

Woven polyhedra, also known as polypolyhedra, tangles, or wireframes (in my opinion this term is too broad), folded as modular origami. Due to the models’ shapes, it’s rather hard to fold them from a single sheet, so in practice they are always modular).

This page lists models of a single type. You might be interested in folding instructions instead.

FIT (Five Intersecting Tetrahedra)

At only 30 modules, this model is still much more challenging than most models with several times that many units, but also a lot of fun to fold. See the lin...
