Rhino 8 3D Squish & Squish Back Command for 3d to 2d Firma, Curvature of Surface, Surface Area of 3d

In this tutorial, we explore Rhino 8’s Squish and SquishBack commands and how they are used to convert 3D models into accurate 2D layouts for fabrication, pattern making, and manufacturing workflows. Learn how Rhino handles surface curvature, distortion, and surface area changes when flattening complex 3D geometry.

This video explains the difference between Squish vs Smash, when to use Squish Back, and how to bring edited 2D geometry back onto the original 3D surface with precision. Ideal for professionals working in architecture, industrial design, jewelry, footwear, leather, sheet metal, CNC, and laser cutting.
