We propose a novel way of computing surface folding maps via solving PDEs. This framework is a generalisation to the existing quasiconformal methods but allows manipulation of the geometry of folding. Moreover, the crucial quantity that characterises the geometry occurs as the coefficient of the equation, namely the Beltrami coefficient. This allows us to solve an inverse problem of parametrising the folded surface when only partial data and the folding geometry are given.
