Unfolder is a 3D model unfolding tool for creating papercraft.
Workflow
- Create a 3D model in a modeling tool
- Import the 3D model into Unfolder to generate the 2D template
- Edit the template in Unfolder
- Export the template to print or do further editing in other applications
Importing & Exporting
• Import 3D objects in OBJ format
• Supports materials and textures
• Sync 3D objects with Blender and Cinema 4D in one click
• Export templates in PDF, DXF, SVG, or PNG format
Unfolding
• Generate 2D template for your 3D models in a few seconds
• The algorithm is highly optimized for papercraft to minimize your effort in further editing
Editing
• Move and rotate the parts
• Join and split the parts
• Lay out the parts automatically
• Switch, add, remove, and merge the flaps
• Reshape the flaps
• Mirror and copy the shape of the flaps
• Automatically optimize the flap shape to avoid the collision
Display
• Generate the unfolding animation
• Highlight overlapping or overflowing parts
• Display the flap targets
• Display the fold angle of the edges
Styling
• Customize the color, width, and dashing of the lines
• Individually control the appearance of the cutting line, ridge-fold line, and valley-fold line
• Hide unnecessary lines manually or automatically
ID
• Add the part IDs and join IDs
• Customize the size, color, and font of the IDs
• Automatically sort the IDs into a specific order
