POLY

Use Poly to explore and construct polyhedra. Manipulate polyhedral solids on the computer in a variety of ways. Flattened versions (nets) of polyhedra may be printed and then cut out, folded and taped to produce 3D models.

The 3D images may be interactively rotated and folded/unfolded - just run the demos. Physical models can be produced by printing out the flattened two-dimensional net, cutting around its perimeter, folding along the edges, and finally taping together neighbouring faces.

The program is available in English, Spanish, French, Danish, German, Korean, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Have fun exploring and modelling all kinds of polyhedra.
