scorpio6_ir Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Hi friends I had a flat screen, get the volume geometry. For maps of air transport, a rectangular cross-section of the circle Whether this is done with AutoCAD 2011. I draw 3D For example, this plan Sorry, I can not speak good English. Please Help me Quote
ReMark Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 It sounds like you are looking for a way to take your 3D objects and flatten them out to develop a pattern. Is that correct? Or are you just looking to know how much sheet metal (the area) the pattern would cover? Looks like a good job for Inventor. Are you a student? Students can download Inventor for free. Quote
JD Mather Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 If you only have access to AutoCAD you should find the chapter on Developments in an mechanical drafting textbook and lay out (develop in English) the flat pattern manually. If you can get access to a program like Inventor - it will generate the flat pattern for you from the 3D model. Quote
scorpio6_ir Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 Thanks for the answer. Yes, I am student. I'm cutting sheet iron with CNC, and then I bent to form sheets. What do you suggest for this? If it is possible to explain the Inventor further. Thanks Quote
JD Mather Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Yes, I am student. I'm cutting sheet iron with CNC, That would be an unusual material to use for the part you showed in your picture. Students can download free 3-yr license of Inventor for free from http://www.autodesk.com/edcommunity Your instructor should be able to show you how to use the sheet metal tools in the software.
