TOOL: Pepakura

here is that little program that unfolds and tabs things for you, its pretty easy to use… but it only works for meshes… for rhino i export a .obj with polygons/lines, and then once unfolded i export this as a .dxf back to rhino, scale it correctly and run rhino nest to get the optimal arrangement for laser cutting.
