Creases
 The lines between the centers of touching circles are always
  creases.
 But there needs to be more. Fill in the polygons, but how?

Divide and conquer
   The creases divide the square into distinct polygons that correspond to
    pieces of the stick figure.

Molecules

 Crease patterns that collapse a polygon so that its edges form a
  stick figure are called bun-shi, or molecules (Meguro)
 Different molecules are known from the origami literature.
 Triangles have only one possible molecule.

Moving to 3D...
 Mathematical descriptions have permitted the construction of
  elaborate geometrical objects from single-sheet folding:
    Flat Tessellations (Fujimoto, Resch, Palmer, Bateman, Verrill)
   3-D faceted tessellations (Fujimoto, Huffman)
   Curved surfaces (Huffman, Mosely)
   and more!

Applications in the Real World
Mathematical origami has found many applications in solving real-
  world technological problems, in:
       Space exploration (telescopes, solar arrays, deployable antennas)
       Automotive (air bag design)
       Medicine (sterile wrappings, implants)
       Consumer electronics (fold-up devices)
       and more.
