47:. To be a valid common net, there shouldn't exist any non-overlapping sides and the resulting polyhedra must be connected through faces. The research of examples of this particular nets dates back to the end of the 20th century, despite that, not many examples have been found. Two classes, however, have been deeply explored, regular polyhedra and cuboids. The search of common nets is usually made by either extensive search or the overlapping of nets that tile the plane.

There can be types of common nets, strict edge unfoldings and free unfoldings. Strict edge unfoldings refers to common nets where the different polyhedra that can be folded use the same folds, that is, to fold one polyhedra from the net of another there is no need to make new folds. Free unfoldings

The first cases of common nets of polycubes found was the work by George Miller, with a later contribution of Donald Knuth, that culminated in the
Cubigami puzzle. It’s composed of a net that can fold to all 7 tree-like tetracubes. All possible common nets up to pentacubes were found. All the nets
252:
Common nets of cuboids have been deeply researched, mainly by Uehara and coworkers. To the moment, common nets of up to three cuboids have been found, It has, however, been proven that there exist infinitely many examples of nets that can be folded into more than one polyhedra.
