Straighten a Brep

Hi, i've a curved brep ,as you can see in the images below, and i would like to straighten it for the fabrication but i don't know how (it's not the projection what i need). Suggestions?

thanks but not what i want. I don't want to unroll/unfold the brep but only "flatten" it, it must become a "planar" brep.

You will have to unroll the bend surfaces to get the exact dimensions if your production is handled in 2D. After unrolling you can then project it onto a plane or otherwise extract the outline for your method of production.

If the production is in 3D (CNC-router?) I'm not quite sue what the question is?

I want to produce this element planar and then i want to bend it in this way. If i unroll it all the surfaces composing this brep will be unrolled and i don't want it. This element will be fabricated in "planar" 3d and then bended in this position, but starting from the bended element how can I go back to the "planar" 3d element?
