Unrolling 3D Scan with Rhino?

Hello, We have a customer who has a 3D scan of a cylindrical mold and they are looking for a way to “unroll” it to make it into a basically a flatted pattern of the mold. Does this sound like something rhino can do? We’ve never used Rhino but are looking for some software to accomplish this for them. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Yes, one command could be Flow
I’ve made a cylinder with some details and converted into a mesh (I think they have a mesh from the 3d scan).
After that I’ve unrolled it using (as reference) a circle with the same diameter as the cylinder and a line with the same length as the circle’s one.
