Explore: The sliceforms

At the end of the 19th century, German professors Félix Klein and Alexander von Bloss designed a large number of surfaces that they used in their university classes to help their students visualize geometric properties. Of these models only a few were made on cardboard: They were small pieces of paper that fit 3D puzzle to build surfaces such as sphere or hyperboloide, A technique that is known today by the name of sliceform. By the hand of Mathematics María García Monera, Attendees may discover how technological advances have allowed to design new surface models made on cardboard and based on the sliceform technique. Once the visit to the sample is finished, a surface can be built using only paper and scissors. Do you dare to become an artist and mathematician for one day?
