To unfold a polyhedron, cut it along some edges and flatten it out to form a net. (Allowing cuts on faces as well as edges is called a general unfolding.)

Details
In [2] a polyhedron that can be edge-unfolded only with overlaps, is called an unfoldable polyhedron. The proof of the unfoldability of the spiked tetrahedron can be found in [2].
