The Paper Engineer's Role in the Creation of a Pop-up Book

by Andrew Baron [one of the world's top paper engineers] “Simply put, the paper engineer is the one who puts the "pop" in pop-up … It is the job of the paper engineer to look at the illustrator's rough pencil drawings and devise paper mechanisms that will give the most interesting movable actions and the most appropriate three-dimensional forms. Sometimes the illustrator has specific ideas about what kind of movement each feature should have. At other times the paper engineer makes these decisions, but usually it is a combination of both the illustrator's and the paper engineer's ideas that end up being designed into the finished book.” http://sfcb.org/showme/baron.html

2. Interview with paper engineer Robert Sabuda: http://readingrockets.org/books/interviews/sabuda/transcript

For some reason this fancy term paper engineer came about, it came from the 70's. There was a company here in the United States, Intervisual Books, that was really sort of creating the second golden age of pop-up books. …They coined the term paper engineer. I think that was just almost for lack of any other way to describe what it was. I mean, the mechanical part — the mechanics of creating a pop-up. Those people as individuals were called paper engineers.
