It claims to flag pieces that collide or protrude when a page closes before anything is printed.

Field notes

The proposed workflow combines scene creation, 3D opening-and-closing previews, and printable patterns marked for cutting, folding and gluing. The page names several supported forms, including boxes, floating layers and V-folds, and says its fold-check warns about collisions before cutting. It also describes local-by-default storage and output for home printers, Cricut or Silhouette machines, though the extract does not show the editor operating.
