I've been an Origami paper folder for years... and have always wanted a more permanent form of Origami. Now that I've got a metal shop for my robotics work, I have started creating Metal Origami... after folding a paper model, I mark the edges of the Origami's structure and project it (with an Artograph opaque projector) onto the metal, plasma cut it out, and TIG weld it into the form.

Metal Origami Sculptures are custom created at time of order and can take a few weeks be completed.
