  • papercraft

    Unfolding STL models to make laser cut patterns

  • Beautiful website and interesting app (blender plugin live view is great).

    Papercraft [1] and Blender paper model addon [2] are free alternatives.

  • OrigamiSimulator

    Realtime WebGL origami simulator

  • It's kludgy, but you can approximate this with Fusion360's sheet metal tools. If your flat-pack is well structured, you can just throw it at Origami Simulator and export an OBJ or STL: https://origamisimulator.org/

    Unsurprisingly, Amanda Ghassei is behind both Fantastic Fold and Origami Simulator: https://amandaghassaei.com/

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • polyhydra-core

    A polyhedral mesh generation library for Unity based on the halfedge data structure

  • Does anyone know what the name of the algorithm would be for unfolding arbitrary polyhedra? I've wanted to implement this for my own library ( https://github.com/IxxyXR/polyhydra-core ) and I could never find the right thing to search for.

    I'm assuming it reduces to a problem in graph traversal with some additional spatial constraints but I wanted to find some references before I tried to do my own dumb brute force solution.

  • papercraft

    Papercraft is a tool to unwrap 3D models. (by rodrigorc)

  • quickemu

    Quickly create and run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux desktop virtual machines.

  • quickemu on Linux can spin up a macOS VM. https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
