There's 3 programs you will need for this besides SCAL & Windows
1. A 3d creating software - A Free one is Google Sketch
2. Pepkura Designer - Free to Unfold your design and Print a Vectored PDF
3. Cute PDF Writer - Free Virtual Printer so you can import the Vectored PDF into Sure Cuts A Lot.

Part 1 - Design in Sketch Up
