Truncation involves cutting off the corners or vertices of the polyhedron in such a way that the original faces become polygons with new edges. This process creates new faces at the […]

This part is easy because a short Python script is sufficient. The important function of the script is the generation of the production drawings from the unrolled net. It means, the generation of the flaps. Here, the continuous […]
