In this paper, we present a new workflow for the computer-aided generation ofphysicalizations, addressing nested configurations in anatomical and biologicalstructures. Physicalizations are an important component of anatomical andbiological education and edutainment. However, existing approaches have mainlyrevolved around creating data sculptures through digital fabrication. Only afew recent works proposed computer-aided pipelines for generating sculptures,such as papercrafts, with affordable and readily available materials.Papercraft generation remains a challenging topic by itself. Yet, anatomicaland biological applications pose additional challenges, such as reconstructioncomplexity and insufficiency to account for multiple, nested structures--oftenpresent in anatomical and biological structures. Our workflow comprises thefollowing steps: (i) define the nested configuration of the model and detectits levels, (ii) calculate the viewpoint that provides optimal, unobstructedviews on inner levels, (iii) perform cuts on the outer levels to reveal theinner ones based on the viewpoint selection, (iv) estimate the stability of thecut papercraft to ensure a reliable outcome, (v) generate textures at eachlevel, as a smart visibility mechanism that provides additional information onthe inner structures, and (vi) unfold each textured mesh guaranteeingreconstruction. Our novel approach exploits the interactivity of nestedpapercraft models for edutainment purposes.
