Only the 3mm fuselage flat sides are included in the laser files.
I don't think it's possible to flatten the double curvature surfaces with enough accuracy, at least not with Solidworks. Different balsa grains have different properties, and also the balsa sheets have different properties in the direction of the fibers and perpendicular to it, which makes things a lot more complicated for computer simulations.
