Beautiful landing page. I wonder if it uses the OCCT unfolding algorithms or something similar under the hood?

I wrote something like this for windows 20 years ago, a friend of mine used it to make some cutout models for an art exhibition.

It's an interesting problem to try to solve. Anything but the simplest model requires more than one cutout, which you then (in my app at least) have to position by hand onto sheets of paper for printing. Performing the unfold to minimise the number of separate sections was not something I even attempted.

I like the clean design of the landing page. I downloaded it and started the app and it needs an OBJ file to even do anything, so I wasn't able to play with it at all.

It would be cool if it included sample OBJ files to entice me to find my own later. Otherwise I feel like I just hit a wall immediately in the app will probably not try it again.

So, like Pepakura? https://pepakura.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura_designer/

Oooo this might be useful for doing geometry unwrapping for laser cutting

What a fantastic idea. Developers who enable others to create art are artists in their own right!

I remember something like this was huge for rc planes 10-20 years ago as you could then make a plane out of thin bendable foam

You'd make a 3D model from 3-views then use something like this to unfold it

Unfolder? But I barely even know her! Jk, awesome project tho! Makes me wanna make cool packaging for products

This is really cool.

As someone who is not into papercraft I'm intrigued, but it feels like it's not for me. If the app was advertised as having a small selection of simple models to get started with, people in my position might be more interested in trying it out.

This is great - reminds me of the golden age of cool little MacOS apps

Mac only. Is there any reason this couldn't be a web app? And seems pretty restrictive to just have one platform, a desktop Mac.
