Developing flat pattern from final sheet metal part
Developing flat pattern from final sheet metal part
(OP)
Would like to find website or formula where I can develop a flat pattern from a final bent-up sheet metal part. Need to calculate set-back and bend up/bend down information to show on final drawing. Any information would be appreciated.

I recommend that for good setback calculations, you go OUTSIDE of the Aerospace community and look some netsites that relate to precision sheetmetal fabrication, especially in the computer enclosure industry. By searching, you will quickly find that there are some excellent publications out there on these topics that are NOT commonly found or used in the Aerospace Business.
