I've used a different workflow. Several years ago, I needed an unusually shaped sheet metal case for a personal project, so I created a 3D solid model in AutoCAD. After checking it for tolerances and interferences with the parts that it housed, I exported it as an ACIS .sat file. The company that I sent it to imported the file, and using their unnamed software, "unfolded" it adding bend allowances appropriate for the sheet metal thickness and bend relief at the corners.
The method worked beautifully! A few days later, I received my folded, powder-coated case precisely to my specifications, all without the design ever having touched paper!
