Re: Flatten a 3D object as a "cut list"

Thanks Everyone for your help. As of now I have a finished and functional electronics box. I just sketched it. I'll use sheet metal next time I use Inventor.

As far as building it, we built a form and used a heat gun to warm up the bends. As they got hot enough, gravity and some clamps worked to form them. The box was done within five minutes of heating the lexan. Super glue and epoxy didn't work to bond it, but silicone will be our next try. At least the robot runs...
