Some of the softwares I know: Robert Lang's "Origami Simulation" http://www.langorigami.com/science/computational/origamisim/origamisim.php It is limited to pureland fold (mountain/valley). It might not be what you are looking for. *Tung Ken Lam's Project: It has not been updated since 2006. I am looking forward to any new enhancement http://www.angelfire.com/or3/tklorigami0/ * Tomohiro Tachi's Page: I have not followed his new development for years. Check out his page for further information. http://www.tsg.ne.jp/TT/software/ http://www.curvedfolding.com/page/rigid-origami-simulator-by John Szinger's Foldinator: http://zingman.com/origami/foldinator3OSMEpaper.php I don't know the current status. John might be able to shed some light on the progress. Personally I did have similar interest to develop something alike. Unfortunately my priority of actual folding and designing is always higher. I also did a quick google search and found this link http://origamisim.blogspot.com/ According to the description, the simulation includes the physical property and memory. It would be nice to see any further development. Talking about virtual folding, it would be cool to interface with the new state-of-the-art sensor like Kinect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinect) or Leap Motion. (https://www.leapmotion.com/) . Again, I need to adjust my origami priority for that. Sy
