MeshFlatten is a standalone application. This software can unfold a 3D mesh to be a 2D mesh. The features include:

1. Import .stl file;

2. Unfold 3D mesh to be a 2D mesh;

3. Export the 2D mesh to .stl file;

4. Export the boundary line of the 2D mesh to .igs file;

5. Easy to use. Just click one button to unfold 3D mesh to be 2D mesh.

Tutorial to unfold a 3D mesh to be a 2D mesh

Step 1 : Open the sample file pipe.stl .

Step 2: Click menu 'Mesh->Unfold mesh', the imported 3D mesh will be unfolded.

Step 3: Uncheck menu 'View->mode->Show original 3D mesh' to hide the original 3D mesh model, the unfolded mesh was shown more clearly. Also you can uncheck menu 'View->mode->Show box' to hide the box and uncheck menu 'View->mode->Show Axis' to hide the axis.
