If you enjoy a little papercraft, you might be interested in a new iPad app that has been launched which allows you to create a wealth of 3D figures and objects on your iPad and then print them out and fold.
The new Foldify app designed for Apple’s iPad includes a collection of figure templates, and numerous categories of stamps like eyes and mouths that can be used to personalise your creations, or you can simply draw your own to suit your needs. Watch the video after the jump to learn more about the Foldify iPad app and see it in action.
Features and Functionality
Foldify offers a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for both beginners and experienced artists to create stunning 3D models. The app comes with a variety of pre-designed templates, including animals, vehicles, and geometric shapes. These templates serve as a great starting point for your creations. Additionally, the app provides a wide range of stamps and stickers, such as eyes, mouths, and accessories, which you can use to customize your figures. If you prefer, you can also draw your own designs directly onto the templates using the app’s intuitive drawing tools.
One of the standout features of Foldify is its real-time 3D preview. As you design your figure, you can see a 3D model of it taking shape on your screen. This allows you to make adjustments and see how your final creation will look before you print it out. Once you’re satisfied with your design, you can print it directly from your iPad. The app supports AirPrint, making it easy to print your creations on any compatible printer.
