UV unwrapping to make this design 3d printable (using TPU).

Not sure how to title this as I am assuming fusion probably doesn't have this functionality, or anything like it. In the screenshot, the red arrow is pointing to the component I am referring to. Ideally, I would like to print this "wall" flat on the bed and with a very thin back wall (colored green for reference) so I could flex it into the final position. One reason is because I would like to make the front (white) columns a different color than the back wall, so printing flat would make this a lot quicker to print.

Is there a *quick* *easy* way to "unwrap" this wall for printing purposes (meaning not bringing into blender)? If not, is there a way to at least know the circumference of the wall so I can redesign it flat?

Thanks

Perhaps. Using Sheetmetal and unfold.
