How to do pop up paper engineering in Yimi Paper?
A beautiful pop up book is composed of stories and many pop up structures, so what is paper engineering?
Paper engineering refers to the use of various paper as the main material, which is made through embossing, pasting, printing, binding, installation, and other processes to form pop structure as per story need.
In recent years, pop up books and pop up board games can give people a more realistic experience. People have become increasingly fond of making animals, plants, and buildings into 3D structures. Pop up books are more popular among people. The demand for customizing pop up structures has increased along with pop up books and pop up board games.
Since 3D structure printing needs the support of a professional development team, what kind of technical support does it need?
- Basic structure: V-shaped folding, parallel folding, non-parallel folding, pull rod, turntable, tunnel, hanging pendulum, splicing, etc.
- Basic technology: cutting line and folding line; sticking (flat sticking and piercing sticking); positioning; bite and ear insertion; reinforcement, etc.
- Advanced structure: double V combination, pull rod combination, V+ pull rod, V+ parallel fold, parallel fold + V, flip effect, rotation effect, high lift, scene change, double flip, rope movement, multiple linkages, etc.
- Advanced technology: selection of part connection methods (paste, bite, ear, overall splicing), knife edge limitation, part realization design, knife reduction and decompression, stroke and limit, paper nails and shafts, and part integration with the main structure, etc.
Due to the complexity of the development and manufacturing process of paper engineering, there is no way to complete it through high-efficiency machines, and it can only be made by hand. Therefore, the production cost of the pop up book and the 3D board game is relatively high, and the price is also expensive.
For pop up books and 3D board games, paper engineering is only the basic skeleton; it also needs story and scene settings, colors, and illustrations to present. In fact, the three-dimensional structure is just a means to better express the story and the picture.
The production process of producing a pop up book:
1. The designer conceives the basic framework according to the story.
2. The designer restores the concept map to a pop up structure.
3. The designer clarifies the shape of each part in the form of a structural line.
4. The illustrator collects styles and finds inspiration to draw the image.
5. The illustrator draws a sketch of the pop up structure.
6. Constantly adjust the 3D structure to make a white model, and finally, determine the final version.
7. Begin drawing, then scan it into your computer for processing.
8. Color print, make a three-dimensional structure again, and make a white plate for the factory to show the principle of pasting and the production process.
9. The factory creates molds, prints, assembles, and pastes the finished pop up book.
Yimi Paper has its own paper engineering development team, which can provide custom paper engineering services. At the same time, we can also support custom printing of
