Building a 3D paper[paper?:paper sample maker cutting machine] model involves cutting out shapes from paper, folding them, and gluing each piece together. 3D paper models are popular in Japan and Europe as well as in the United States, and are also known as pepakura, the Japanese word for papercraft. It is possible to build 3D paper model like miniature buildings, vehicles, ships, aircraft, animals, and video game characters out of paper.
A 3D paper model can be a house or a miniature of any building. Sleek sports cars and vintage cars are seen in 3D paper form, while spaceships, boats, and robots are also popular. 3D paper models are three-dimensional, so all of the parts are flattened out on the paper when unfolded. The 3D paper model is built by cutting out these parts one at a time.
