Pop-Up! The Ultimate Guide to Paper Mechanics explores how to make a range of intriguing mechanisms to take your paper crafting to the next level.
Expanding on the foundations introduced in Pop-Up Design and Paper Mechanics, this book takes paper engineering to the next level, exploring how individual mechanisms can be combined, adapted and refined to create increasingly sophisticated structures.
Through clear explanations, step-by-step illustrations and practical exercises, this book starts with a refresher course on all the classic, basic pop-up mechanisms to give you a thorough foundation to the craft. It then moves on to more advanced mechanisms, compound structures, movement, sequencing and the integration of multiple folds into cohesive designs.
Whether creating books, cards, sculptures, packaging or interactive displays, readers will gain the knowledge and confidence to engineer original paper creations while developing a deeper understanding of the remarkable possibilities of folded paper. An essential resource for students, designers, artists and paper engineers, this volume serves as both an inspiring guide and a lasting reference for anyone wishing to master the creative engineering of paper.
