Sliceform Studio was built and is maintained by Yongquan ‘YQ’ Lu at MIT CSAIL under the guidance of Erik Demaine. The theory behind the application is discussed in the 2015 Bridges Proceedings and the Journal of Symmetry.
These sliceform techniques were first developed by artists such as Chris Palmer and Jeff Rutzky, and have since been popularized by others such as Christiane Bettens. The concept of the pattern editor is heavily influenced by Craig Kaplan's work on Taprats.
