: This is the industry standard for turning 3D models into 2D paper templates. You import your model, and it "unfolds" the surfaces into a flat layout with numbered tabs for gluing. : Use a fast-drying tacky glue or double-sided tape
Print onto heavy cardstock (typically ) to ensure the final sculpture is sturdy. This creates a "score" that allows the paper
Ensure your 3D model (likely an .obj or .stl file) is "water-tight" and has a relatively low polygon count. High-poly models are extremely difficult to fold by hand.
