I bought one of these off Foldable (https://www.foldable.me/) and while it was quite cool how it all came together, I was a little disappointed by the lack of customisation options.
This looks to rectify that and make a more personalised creation, great work!
There are huge numbers of USEFUL applications that don't exist, because Apple is ruled by fear. With no developer access to the dock port, a crippled Bluetooth stack, no way for developers to sync data with a counterpart app on the computer (without some hokey wireless or Internet-based workaround), no user-accessible file system... It's no wonder that the vast majority of apps are useless gimmicks or games.
Foldify is so much better than "Origami for Westerners", I think they may even get a season push, considering the coming festivities. How good would 8 bit squares and 8 bit Santa look on the tree. Hope it comes through for the makers.
It's because the foldable model is printed out on a single side and it's probably going to be a pain in the ass to have users print 2-sided with lines on the other.
Foldify idea was born in 2011, It's an indie project ( created after normal work ) and the dev started in january of 2012. Foldable.me started after March of 2012. So definitely not a copy ;) as Foldify was first.
Why oh why would you go public on this before the app is available in the store? I looked at this thing and said "I want it." Will I remember to look again once it is available?
If you are interested in printing foldable paper models, also have a look at Pepakura Designer (http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/). This takes 3d models and unwraps them to printable images.
No connection, other than having used it's output to entertain children at various times.

Goes to show that not every useful application for iOS has been built yet, or that the unmade ones have to be extremely complicated.
"You're submitting too fast."
You know what Hacker News? FUCK YOU.
I hope you can submit your own 3D models to share and make viral!

Not to mention: You're going to use a computer to create 3-D models.
