Make Precise Folds by Carving

sketch.png
The paper models I have published require precision. Carving (or Scratching?) eases to make perfect folds.
A summary is shown in the image.

Tools You Need and Preparations

  • A cutter
  • Crease Pattern
  • Blank sheet of paper
  • Transparent surface (eg. glass table)
  • Light source (eg. desk lamp)
  • Adhesive tape
Put the blank sheet of paper + CP (back) side by side and stick them horizontally or vertically along the edges with two pieces adhesive tape to avoid shifting. Then order the sheets on top of each other. A lamp and a transparent surface illuminates through the papers so you can easily track the lines.

Use the back of the cutterblade and carve the sheet of paper with light pressure.
The result should look like in the second picture.
