Unfold or flatten surface?

Hello,
I made a skateboard design in onshape.
The skateboard will be made by seven sheets of wood. I want to cut those sheets by laser.
To be precise, we have to flatten the surface. I tried the FS "fold" (unfold) but this FS made only a projection and not a realy unfold or flatten function.
How can we do a real unfold function in a surface?
Thanks!

But I only managed to made a simple projection...
Thanks! Yes I already made one test. It's quite good! I had some problems with the unities in the file exported. I have to make more tests.
But if the solution is not in an external module, it would be great! I want to orgenise workshop about creating skateboard with young people... the simplest would be the best!
And this is not a long term free solution...
So... I have to find something else...!

Rhino also has a decent flatten command. You can get a 90-day free trial.
thanks Pascoe!
