Unfolder

What is Unfolder?

Unfolder is a versatile 3D model unfolding tool designed to streamline the creation of papercraft projects. This application allows users to import 3D objects in OBJ format, and then seamlessly sync them with popular 3D modeling software like Blender and Cinema 4D. The tool's advanced algorithms can generate 2D unfolding patterns for these 3D models in just a few seconds, significantly reducing the time and effort required for papercraft creation

Highlights

• Import and export capabilities: Unfolder supports importing 3D objects in OBJ format and provides one-click sync with Blender and Cinema 4D. It also allows for partial updates of imported objects and maintains material and texture information
• Automated unfolding: The application's optimized algorithms can automatically generate 2D unfolding patterns from 3D models, with the ability to minimize paper usage through automatic layout generation
• Comprehensive editing tools: Unfolder offers a range of editing features, including the ability to move, rotate, align, and distribute patches, as well as split and join them easily. Users can also adjust the size of their papercraft projects by specifying the desired dimensions
• Flap management: The tool provides intuitive controls for switching, adding, or removing flaps, as well as reshaping them by dragging handles or typing precise angles and heights. It can also automatically detect and fix flap-related issues, such as overlaps and overflows
• Customization options: Unfolder allows users to customize the appearance of their papercraft projects by adjusting the color, thickness, and dashing of lines, as well as individually controlling the appearance of cutting, ridge-fold, and valley-fold lines. The application also offers the ability to hide unnecessary lines manually or automatically.
