Get Flat Pattern of a rolled tube
Get Flat Pattern of a rolled tube
(OP)
I need to get the flat pattern of a rolled tube. I have the modeled tube, it's very simple, but I couldn't get to recreate it using sheet metal since I can't find a "Contour Roll" alike command to recreate the rolled tube in the center part. So I was exploring some other options, like unwrap curve, or fabric flat pattern, but I have had no success yet. Also I'm trying to create it using Autodesk Inventor, I'm able to get the contour roll flat pattern, but when I try to create the additional flanges I get some errors, and as I'm not an experienced Inventor user, I had no success either with that option hehe...
Do you guys know how can I get the flat pattern of the attached rolled tube?
Thanks in advance!!
