The code is almost all there to make a useful library that would convert a mesh into SVG and instructions, ready for printing.

Features:

Would take as input a mesh, made of contiguous single-color face sets, or a mesh with cuts.
Would flatten the pieces, add tabs and labels and ridge/valley folds.
Would composite onto pages for printing.
Instructions for how to join would be automatically produced.

Questions:

What existing solutions exist?
Can we find a joining sequence that minimises fiddlyness?
Can we minimise the problem of joining the last piece?
Integrate with laser-cutting solutions?
