    3D metal shape to Flat Form

    I have a bracket that I need to make, I have the drawings, but they are in 3d. I need to convert them into a flat part that I can cut out. Is there an inexpensive program that will do this? I know I can do this manually, but I am a bit unsure on getting the dimensions correct.

    I don't know of any low cost alternative to make a flat pattern. I use Solidworks cad software and would be glad to help you out.

    Thanks
