Another type of dimensional paper are popularized by Masahio Chatani is olien referred to as "geometric origami". According to a leading pracritioner of the craft, Sandy Jackson, it really has little to do with origamu and is more appropriarely called "slice forms". In Slice forms, three-dimensional models of various objects are created by fitting together slices of paper inserred into a series of slots to create the form. When the structure is standing open, the slices are an riglu angles to one another. When the paper angles are decreased, the form begins to collapse and eventually lays flat. Slice forms have been used for many years to make mathematica models.


Sandy's interest in slice forms (she admirs a lifelong interest in puzzles and geometry; so she probably likes marh) began when she rook Masahiro Chatani's book Pop-Up Geometric Origami along on a trip to Paris. Before she was able to tackle any of the projects in the book. However, Snady was overcome by the desire to make a model of the Eiffel Tower. She followed that successful project with a pop-up slice-form tree for a Christmas card. Before long she was designing and selling kits to make various slice-form structures and selling pattern stamps to decorate the forms through her bussiness SAS (Some Assembly Required).
