Heerlen-born, Rotterdam-based artist Bert Simons makes these scarily realistic papercraft models, by first making 3D models of real subjects. Playing with the uncanny valley, eh? Dude uses Free Software, namely the 3D package Blender (originally from Dutch company Not a Number, but released as GPL software after a donation drive); and Ubuntu for his web server.

Ruan, you’d better ask the artist directly.
Having said that, an architect called Chuck Clark recently developed a method for mapping a 3D object into a foldable 2D representation, so you might want to check him out.
You can use Pepakura Designer to create papercrafts out of 3D models.
