Organic shape to flat pattern

ansararangodan — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 08:23:35 GMT

Hello all,
am trying to convert an organic shape to flat pattern to laser cut. Please let me know if there any tools available in fusion for this?

Export as STL format, (accuracy will come with higher resolutions)

Open in Meshmixer, and Unwrap it.

When done save the new body as STL,

can then be imported to software that can trace the mesh body.

Fusion can not do it automaticaly.

You can/could Create a Mesh section sketch, and in it Fit Curves to Section, is a quick way.

Might help...

Thanks for the reply, when I did this one the result svg file was shrinked significantly, have you ever experienced this?

I can’t and don’t use SVG.

With STL, I have had no size discrepancies.

Might help….
