Computer-aided drafting, cardboard-aided drafting, and freaking lasers!

This add-on generates a flat net of a given mesh. It creates either PDF or SVG files suitable for direct printing and paper modeling. The main goal is a maximal possible automation of the whole process. Common tasks like baking the model’s texture into the output document are also supported.

EVA foam is a great entry level material. It is relatively easy to cut and shape. The thickness ranges from 2mm to 20mm, and we recommend 6mm for most beginners. The material is very budget friendly at $0.66 per square foot. EVA foam can be cut with standard household scissors or a utility knife. It can easily be molded to shape with a heating gun.
