Modular origami

Modular origami or unit origami is a multi-stage paper folding technique in which individual modules or units are created out of sheets of paper and assembled into a flat shape or three-dimensional structure. This is usually done by inserting flaps into pockets created by the folding process, which create tension or friction and hold the model together. Some assemblies can be somewhat unstable when adhesives or string are not used.
