Flatten / unfold a Developed Surface
Flatten / unfold a Developed Surface
(OP)
I am trying to flatten / unfold a developed surface to create a pattern for laser cutting a flat sheet of metal that will then be bent to shape.
I have tryed the unfold tool but it comes up with an error.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am using V5 R14

RE: Flatten / unfold a Developed Surface
What kind of error? Have you mapped the geometry to a surface? Have you read the online documentation first?

RE: Flatten / unfold a Developed Surface
Imagine a box on a surface with a fillet in the corners. When you try to unfold it you have overlaps you can solve only when treating the material as cloth. This approach is possible (not always perfect) using the composite workbench module, which has no course or tutorial :(
