Aren’t some shapes (like an hourglass shape) impossible to unfold without overlap? Were you trying to say it was a bug in the code, or something else?
-Yep, that’s something I should look at. There are algorithms to make any surface into a developable surface. The other option is to make several shapes.

How are you going to attach the plastic pieces together? Glue?

Very nice progress! I can’t wait to see the actual objects. Again, though, I kind of wish it did something else instead of just making shapes, maybe using some sort of user-generated or scraped information when creating the shapes. -Amanda

Anyway you could have a mini workshop of you putting together a small inflatable so people feel like they could put your tool to use?
