Dream Paper Concept makes lazy paper modelers even lazier

We knew we had turned into a lazy bunch of people when someone invented the 3D printer that put a lot of sculptors and modelers out of work. But you know that we have become a really, really lazy generation when people start dreaming of printers that not only printout pre-cut paper models but also come with super high-tech paper that can fold itself when commanded to do so via Bluetooth.

Dream Paper Concept

And this is exactly what this Dream Paper Concept by designer Mac Finamizu proposes to do. Though the designer has no specifics of how this machine and this paper would function, he does have a whole range of scenarios for us to imagine. For example, if you wanted to make a bunch of paper flowers or paper dolls, you can simply send a command to the printer via a computer or a smartphone and the printer will automatically start to print the paper and would even cut it out before it pops in the "out" bin.

One can imagine such a product being useful for kindergarten teachers who need to cut out lots of paper stuff for class and they can’t delegate the task to the kids in their class. But the designer also imagines that this dream paper would be intelligent enough to fold itself once the folding lines have been printed on it by the printer which takes all the fun out of paper folding art and ensures that any fool can take up the hobby and make 3D models like an expert who might have devoted years practicing his art.
