WATCH: Origami expert creates "impossible" computer-generated shape

Mathematician and origami expert Tom Hull created this pleated multi-sliced cone from paper, never before accomplished since Robert Lang designed it via computer.

Origami Kids has both the pattern and the final result, which Hull recommends attempting with high-quality origami paper.

Hull is highly regarded in the fields of math and origami for creating PHIZZ unit (pentagon-hexagon zig-zag).
