Methods:
- Volume Model Surface-Assembling (for big parts – less details)
• Polygon-model > Unwinding (Pepakura) > print out black and cut by hands or use Lasercutter/ plotter
• Nurbs-model with single curvature (straight lofts) > unroll (_unrollSrf) > Transfer unwound surfaces into contours (_dupBorder) > join contour > cut out with laser-cutter oder plotter - Cross-section Modell (for big models with medium-precision)
• Polygon-model > export as stl > 123d Make > laser-cutter or plotter
• Nurbs model > export as polygon-model (obj, stl, fbx) > laser-cutter or plotter - 3D Print (for small parts with high-precision)
• Polygon > export as .stl > import in Dimension printer software
