A net is the flat shape of a solid's faces. Cut it out, fold on the dashed lines and glue the tabs, and it becomes the solid.

What do the three styles change?

The line version is plain black. The colour-coded version marks cuts in red and folds in blue. The tinted-face version gives each face a different pastel colour, so matching faces are easy to find after folding.

Which solids are on the sheets?

The cube and cuboid, the square-based pyramid and the tetrahedron, and the dodecahedron.

Printable nets of solids for maths lessons and makers. Each net lays the faces of a solid flat, with fold lines dashed and glue tabs on the edges. The first sheet has the cube and the cuboid. The second has the square-based pyramid and the tetrahedron. The third has a dodecahedron of twelve regular pentagons. Each net is titled. A different solid you type is a request for the same net layout.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
