Then you can click the download links for the “parts” and “instructions” in the post above, and normally, the PDF files will open directly in your browser window, so you can view them before saving them to your computer (you can also right-click the download links and choose “Save as…” to download the files directly to your computer).

To open those types of files, you will need a “PDF Reader” most computers nowadays already have one installed, but if your computer doesn’t, you can download and install the free Adobe Reader ( link) or one of the many others you can find online. It’s a lot more work, but for my paper models it’s the only way if you want to use a cutting machine… :o(Īltough I did use the Pepakura Designer program to unfold the 3D model for this papercraft model, the parts are not releases in Pepakura Designer’s *.PDO format, only in the standard “Portable Document Format” (*.PDF)
Then I export the good parts as raster images and put them together on sheets in Photoshop, to fix the final things, add new textures and the layout etc., because that’s easier for me in Photoshop than to have to go back to the 3D model each time, unfold it again etc.īut I’m afraid that means there is no vector version of my papercraft models, sorry… :o( I think most cutting machines come with software that let you trace the fold lines and the cut lines of a raster image manually (see the manual and/or help files of your cutting machine software!) so you can still use it with the cutting machines. so in the end, I usually have multiple files that all have some good parts and some wrong parts. Because of the way I make the 3D model, Pepakura PDO version is not the finished version: after I test build the models, I usually only fix the things that need fixing, test again, etc.
