Screenshots
ORIPA for Android, developed by Origami Toolbox, brings Jun Mitani's renowned ORIPA desktop application to the mobile platform, catering to origami designers and enthusiasts. This mobile app empowers users to ideate and experiment with crease patterns conveniently, whether on the move or during origami events. Offering a suite of tools for drawing, checking, and folding crease patterns, ORIPA for Android seamlessly integrates with its desktop counterpart, enabling easy import and export of crease patterns as OPX or CP files. Users can also save their creations as PNG or SVG files, enhancing accessibility and versatility.
With support for multi-touch gestures like pinch-to-zoom, two-fingered panning, and rotation of folded models, ORIPA for Android ensures a user-friendly experience in both landscape and portrait orientations. However, it focuses solely on 2D model folding, omitting 3D origami models. The app limits users to drawing straight lines, excluding curved lines, and assumes familiarity with crease pattern analysis and basic geometry concepts. While lacking instructional content on origami design, ORIPA remains an indispensable tool for enthusiasts keen on on-the-go crease pattern exploration and experimentation.
