About this tool

Polyhedra Unfolding is a free online visual effect. Regular polyhedra unfolding animation, Platonic solid fold and unfold, multiple shapes. Interactive eye-candy rendered live on your screen. It runs entirely in your browser — no download or sign-up needed.

Opening the page will show a regular polyhedron (such as a regular dodecahedron) slowly unfolding into a planar network structure and then folding back. You can switch between different polyhedron types.

The whole process is purely front-end animation, based on Three.js geometry operations, using a rotation matrix to calculate the unfolding angle of each face.

It is suitable for being used as a science of geometry, a display of mathematical art, or purely appreciating the geometric beauty of polyhedron unfolding. The implementation principle is rotation matrix and patch operations.

Polyhedron unfolding is a visual effect that shows that regular polyhedrons are unfolded into a plane network. It is rendered in real time based on Three.js.
