I've been doing hobby projects with laser-cut acrylic (plexiglass) for a while. I recently bought a big roll of mylar, which is thin, strong, clear, flexible, dimensionally stable, and even food-safe. It's kind of a perfect material for laser cutting, because the thinness means it cuts quickly, and the strength means you can create pretty robust 3D objects by scoring, folding, and assembling using tab+slot designs. I know other people use mylar for laser cutting projects, but it might commonly be more along the lines of stencils. There is some overlap with papercraft design, but the material constraints are different, so it's not quite the same thing. I'm coming up with design techniques myself from scratch, and it's going fine, but I feel like I may be reinventing the wheel. I discovered https://tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ https://tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ recently, which looks like a great resource, but I haven't bothered to boot up Windows to check it out yet. Thanks for asking!
