Cube Net Generator

Generate the common cross net of a cube — printable, with exact dimensions

A cube net unfolds the 6 square faces of a cube into a flat pattern. This calculator draws the common cross net with exact dimensions, fold lines, volume, and surface area.

Enter a side length and the tool redraws the net instantly. A cube has 11 distinct nets, and the chat can answer questions about how the cross net relates to the other cube-net patterns.

Every net is printable — use the share/export button to save, then print and fold into a real cube.

How many nets does a cube have?
A cube has exactly 11 distinct nets. These are the 11 different ways to arrange 6 connected squares on a flat surface so they fold into a cube. The most recognizable is the cross (t-shape) pattern.
What is the surface area of a cube?
The surface area of a cube with side length a is 6a². Each of the 6 faces is a square with area a².
Can I print this net?
Yes! The dimensions are mathematically exact. Use the share/export button to save the net, then print at any scale. Add small tabs along fold lines for gluing.
What is the cross net of a cube?
The cross (or t-shape) net is the most common cube net: one column of 4 squares with 2 squares extending left and right from the second square. It looks like a plus sign (+).
What can it graph?
It can plot explicit, implicit, and parametric functions, add points and geometry, and animate sliders on the same graph.
Can I use voice or a photo?
Yes. You can talk to the tutor, upload a worksheet or handwritten problem, and let the graph update from that input.
Will it explain the steps?
Yes. The AI explains what it is drawing and why, so you see the answer on the graph instead of getting only a final number.
