Are there add-ons that turns solid into cross sections for making paper model like this? [0972-i]

I don’t know of an add on, but Autodesk Slicer (free) will do this from a polygonal model. It is a standalone app so don’t worry that it says “for Fusion360” https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/tsarticles/ts/3yg7zznS94MHNDG7KMV8Qg.html

I’m not awar of an addon… but you can build you own oversized paper card (resized cube), use a array modifier to repeat it and use a boolean to get you slices… then repeat this for the other direction… For the incut sections you can use the same technique… then all sides for onw direction (via same…

Suzanne does have manifold edges… at the eyes… so it isn’t waterproof (closed)… so this might be a bad example object ??

Oh yeah, I forgot about her eyes. It works now, thank you so much!!
