I'm an adjunct instructor who teaches AutoCAD and a bit of Revit. For any students out there who use Autodesk software or would like to use it, like 3DStudio Max, AutoCAD, Revit, etc- which are great 3D tools to create models for use in Pepakura Designer- I have a suggestion for you.
Acquire an email account form your school that ends in the *.edu domain- most community colleges have such free student email accounts for registered students. I might image High Schools do something similar. Then, if you point your web browser to:
students.autodesk.com
you can apply for an account with Autodesk's Education portal. Once approved (and that's why you want a previously approved *.edu domain on your application!) you can download all kinds of great (and normally very, very pricey) software for free. Be aware of the limitations of the software so PLEASE read very carefuly the license agreements before you install them.
Note: If you can't get a student email and account that way, you can ask an instructor at your schools to sign up and acquire an account. Once they have one, they can send to you a web link that will allow you to create an account with the ability download the software you want for your studies (and making pep files!).
Cheers and happy modeling!
