The first public release

Origami Diagram Maker (ODM) turns crease patterns into step-by-step origami diagrams. Load a
crease pattern for each step, and ODM folds it: it works out the layers, draws the paper as it
really lies, adds the fold arrows and precreases, and lays the steps out on pages ready to print.

  • Every step is drawn from the folded model. View it from any angle, and spread the layers to
    show what is inside.
  • ODM works out which layer lies on top. Where the folds leave a choice, you pick.
  • A built-in crease pattern editor, and import of .cp files from ORIPA, Oriedita and other tools.
  • Precreases, valley and mountain lines and the main fold arrows are worked out for you; add
    your own fold and push arrows where you want them.
  • Export the whole sequence as a vector PDF, or single steps as SVG or PNG.

For Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit). ODM installs for your own account, without administrator
rights, and asks before installing an update.
