Laser engraving on paper for origami creasing

Hey folks–I recently watched a PBS special called The Origami Revolution, about the use of origami in science and engineering. It’s a pretty cool show, highly recommended. Anyway, early in the show was a demonstration by Robert Lang, noted origami expert, where he designed crease patterns on computer then used his laser engraver/cutter to engrave the patterns into his large sheet of folding paper. He was able to get extremely complex models this way. http://www.langorigami.com/files/resize/a…
