unroll curve geometry on a flat surface

Hi there,

as i'm new to grasshopper i have a little problem.

I have created a geometry  out of some curves (like stripes). Now i have no idea how to  'unroll' these curves (and intersecting lines) to a flat surface (so i can finally cut it out on a laser-cutter).

Maybe someone here could please help me out.

thank you!

    it seems the surfaces are not developpable, so it is impossible to unroll them rigidly.

      you could bake the surfaces and curves, then try the "unrollsrf" in rhino
