About Papercraft Workshop & methodology

How Papercraft Workshop works, which inputs it supports, what its results mean and where its limits apply.

Papercraft Workshop

Unfold a low-poly OBJ or STL into printable paper pieces with glue tabs, matching edge labels, fold directions and a real assembly reference.

How we build a check

This workbench processes supported inputs locally. We test calculations, file structure and generated artifacts using independent readers or known fixtures where available. The example runs the same processing path as a supplied input; it does not stand in for checking your own result.
