Folding Anything (in Theory) [Demaine, Demaine, Mitchell 1999] • Theorem: Any 2D or 3D shapecan be folded from a square of paper

Hinged Dissection[first used by Kelland 1864] • Fold polygons at cornersinstead of lines [Dudeney 1902]
Hinged Dissection Universality[Abbott, Abel, Charlton, Demaine, Demaine, Kominers 2008] • Theorem: For any finite setof polygons of equal area, there is a hinged dissection that can fold into any of the polygons,continuouslywithout self-intersection • Generalizes to 3D
