Distinguishing Cut Lines from Fold Lines

Kirigami combines cutting and folding, so a converted vector template needs clear visual distinction between the two line types — typically solid lines for cuts and dashed lines for folds — letting a Cricut or laser cutter apply the correct cut/score operation to each line type automatically.

  • Solid vs. dashed line conventions distinguish cuts from folds
  • Cutting machines apply the correct operation per line type
  • Clear conventions prevent structural errors in pop-up assembly

Pop-Up Card and Paper Sculpture Templates

Vectorized kirigami templates power popular pop-up greeting card designs and standalone paper sculpture pieces — precise vector geometry ensures the pop-up mechanism actually functions correctly when folded, since even small measurement errors can prevent a pop-up structure from working.

  • Pop-up card templates function correctly from precise vector geometry
  • Standalone paper sculpture designs scale to any display size
  • Measurement precision directly determines whether a pop-up mechanism works

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I mark cut lines differently from fold lines in my SVG?

Use distinct stroke styles (solid for cuts, dashed for folds) or separate colored layers — most cutting machine software lets you assign different tool operations (cut vs. score) based on line color or layer.

Why did my pop-up card fail to work after cutting?

Small measurement inaccuracies in the fold or cut geometry are the most common cause — kirigami pop-up mechanisms are geometrically precise, so verify exact measurements in your vector file before cutting the final piece.
