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.

FAQ

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 (+).
