Clinton has an unwrap tool on his Webpage for tS7.61. But, it's for UV unfolding. Not sure what you mean by unfolding a mesh if it's not for UV

papercraft............basically a mesh that is flatten but its dimension and shape are the same when you fold it unlike the regular flatten in 3d soft were it just smash it to flat, the shape of the object is now not right

Ah, I see.

There is some paper crafting done in the free version of Google Sketchup. Haven't tried it though, but one could search for tutorials on it.

Have you tried this software: http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/? I believe there is a free version or a trial version.
