Hello,

2mm thin sheet metal needs to be bent to match the side of a classical guitar.

After it's been bent the length will be 340mm and the width (on one end 120mm and on the other end 150mm).

I need the flattened drawing. Which software can do that painlessly?

Thanks, John

There isn't much to send.
Just try this: create a surface or sheetmetal using spline. Then try to flatten it.

For anybody who might be interested I found out so far that SolidWorks can't do this since the sheet metal (the side of a guitar) is created with Spline.

To be flattened SolidWorks requires that bend faces are limited to
cylindrical, planar and conical shapes.
