Grid-locked geometry
Snap points, angles and facets to a strict 8-point grid. Guides are drawn as live data — never as decoration.
Precision design toolkit — Beta 2.0
Foldform turns flat artwork into mathematically folded forms — grids, facets and unfold patterns that go straight to the blade, the press or the plotter.
01 — Features
Three tools that keep every angle, crease and cut mathematically honest.
Snap points, angles and facets to a strict 8-point grid. Guides are drawn as live data — never as decoration.
Mountain, valley and cut lines travel with the file, so the plotter always knows what to score and what to slice.
Unfold any faceted form into flat patterns with tabs, glue margins and registration marks computed to the tenth.
02 — Process
Block your form on the grid. Every facet stays a live, editable polygon — no flattened paths.
Assign mountain and valley creases. The fold engine simulates the paper in real time and flags impossible geometry.
Ship cut-ready SVG, PDF or DXF with crease layers, tabs and tolerances intact.
03 — Field notes
We replaced three separate tools with Foldform. The unfold engine alone saves our packaging team a full week per project.
It's the first design app that treats paper like a material with rules. Students fold what they draw — first try, every time.

05 — FAQ
None at all. The grid keeps early work structurally sound, and the fold simulator flags impossible geometry before it ever reaches a cutter.
