When the folding is performed, two or more different directions of folding can be realized by the missing edge 23, so that the folded volume is smaller and the area of the extended page is larger.

However, the same bending method is not limited to a rectangle, and may be other forms such as a triangle, a polygon, etc., and after the bending, the final form is not limited to a rectangle, but may be a different form, such as the circle shown in FIG. The shape and the star shape shown in FIG. This method of flexing not only greatly expands the layout, enriches the content, but also adds different elements, making the book more interactive and more creative.

The above-mentioned method of flexing, whether folding one time, one page folding multiple times or multiple pages folding multiple times, is a method based on plane bending. The invention can adopt a preset design, and can pass a piece of flat paper through a plurality of different angles and shapes to make it into a three-dimensional shape as shown in FIG. 13, so that not only can the designer play a larger role. Creative, rich in content, and can make the appearance of the product change, click the button in the default position of the stereo, this stereo product can make the product more by default, including but not limited to sound, or light. Features and interaction.
