Unfolded sphere

unfold reads a binary STL file on standard input and generates a SVG that contains the triangles "folded flat" so that they can be laser cut. It will output multiple groups in the SVG file that will need to be re-arranged to fit on the laser cutter bed.

This is a work in progress -- it is not yet feature complete. Among the features that it could use:

  • A better heuristic for finding the maximum non-overlaping set of triangles (Currently breadth-first search is used, with a slight preference for coplanar triangles)

  • Tabs for securing parts together.

  • Collapsing of very small or very thin triangles.

  • Marking mountain or valley folds.
