Is it possible to turn this into a file that is able to plasma cut

Is there an easy way to turn an igs file into a file that can be flattend and cut?

to open in fusion 360 just rename the dxf to igs.
motherboard tray - Copy.dxf (314.9 KB)

trying to make a new motherboard tray for my desk, that I custom built with my pc built inside. I currently have one I hacked out of a old case, and just not happy with it. Installed a new motherboard, and thinking of redoing the whole box, to tweak and make more compact.


The process you are looking for is “Unfold.” First convert to sheet metal. It will require you to select a stationary face, and verify thickness. (In your model, .5mm or .019") Then from Modify, select Unfold. Select the stationary face, then the bends. At that point, I created a sketch and projected everything on to it. Then save as DXF.

Note - You typically need to connect the bent faces (I did in the file below.) You’ll still need to remove the 2 crossing lines before cutting. These are the bend lines. You should be able to do this in fusion by editing the DXF.
