Abstract
We show that every orthogonal polyhedron of genus $$g \le 2$$ can be unfolded without overlap while using only a linear number of orthogonal cuts (parallel to the polyhedron edges). This is the first result on unfolding general orthogonal polyhedra beyond genus-0. Our unfolding algorithm relies on the existence of at most 2 special leaves in what we call the “unfolding tree” (which ties back to the genus), so unfolding polyhedra of genus 3 and beyond requires new techniques.
