Crease line creation. Draw mountain (ridge) and valley (trough) lines with precision. Lines can be adjusted in angle and length according to the design requirements.
Folding simulation. Shows how the model will look once the specified creases are folded. The folded-shape preview helps you understand the final structure.
Editing tools. Includes functions to copy, move and delete lines. You can also change properties such as line type and color.
Image import. Supports loading reference images so you can trace crease lines over them.
Export in multiple formats. Designs can be saved in formats such as PDF, SVG and DXF for use in other applications.
Symmetry auto-completion. Automatically generates symmetrical patterns based on a section defined by the user.
Angle calculation. Measures the angles between lines to ensure precision in the design.
Layer mode. Organizes different parts of the design into layers for tidier handling.
Selection tools. Select groups of lines to apply changes to all of them at once.
Real-time preview. Displays changes immediately after you adjust the design.
Grid settings. Adjust the density and type of the grid to align elements more accurately.
Action history. Includes undo and redo to correct mistakes during the design process.

ORIPA was developed by Jun Mitani, a researcher and professor in the field of computer graphics applied to origami. The project began in the mid-2000s and has been used by both hobbyists and professionals. The application is written in Java, which allows it to run on multiple platforms without modification. Its main focus is to provide advanced tools for the technical design of origami models.
