Application Description
Unfolder is a 3D model unfolding tool that helps you to create Papercraft easily and quickly.
Workflow
1. Create a 3D model in any 3D editor
2. Unfold the 3D model into a 2D template in Unfolder
3. Print out the template, cut, fold and glue to create the paper model
Import and export
Import 3D objects in OBJ format
One-click synchronisation of 3D objects with Blender and Cinema 4D
Partial update of imported objects
Support for materials and textures
Export templates in PDF, DXF, SVG or PNG format
Automatic expansion
Generate 2D patches for your 3D models in seconds
The algorithm is highly optimised for Papercraft to minimise the amount of further editing required
Edit patches
Move, rotate, align and distribute patches
Easily split and merge patches by clicking on edges in 2D view or 3D view
Automatic generation of paper-saving layouts
Highlight overlapping or overflowing patches
Resize paper models by entering the required dimensions
Editing flaps
Click on flaps or edges in the 2D view to easily switch, add or remove flaps
Adjust the shape of the flaps by intuitively dragging the handles or by typing in the exact angle and height
Copy and paste the flap shape
Automatically detect and fix flap problems such as overlap and spillage
Show flap target (area where flaps should be pasted)
Shaping
Customise the colour, thickness and dashes of the lines
Control the appearance of cut lines, ridge folds and valley folds separately
Hide unnecessary lines manually or automatically
