·2026.04.10 01:58
Key point
A Mac app that unfolds 3D models into 2D patterns for papercraft in seconds.
Details
Unfolder quickly converts 3D models into 2D unfolded patterns, creating the parts needed for papercraft.
The unfolding algorithm is optimized for papercraft, so the automatic results are generally usable as-is, with a focus on reducing the burden of subsequent editing.
- Split & Join Parts: Easily split and join parts by clicking edges in the 2D or 3D view.
- Edit Flaps: Replace, add, delete, merge, and reshape flaps, with automatic optimization of flap shapes to avoid collisions.
- Styling: Adjust the color, thickness, and dashed line style of cutting lines, ridge-fold lines, and valley-fold lines individually.
- Exporting: Export in multiple formats tailored to purposes such as printing, external editing, and CNC cutting.
Available for Mac, and also listed on the Mac App Store.
