In this paper, two methods of folding a thick circular panel are studied based on origami engineering. A thick circular panel is rigid and folded around the central hub. One method is based on trimming the volume by bisecting panels of dihedral angles between adjacent facets and the other is applying thin films with specified widths at fold-lines. The former method is effective for some specific models but it cannot be able to apply to this model. The latter method using thin films compensate for the disadvantage of the former method and found that it can be applied to the thick panel foldings.
