Anybody Remember This?...sheet Metal Program

[mmccall]

Some time back can't remember who.. maybe within the past 2 years.. somebody mentioned a sheet metal program that could unfold and give the developed length of complex curved sheetmetal parts..

 

Think it came from one of the architect background users..

 

If I remember.. the web site of this product had some strange "y" shaped model..

 

Anybody remember this?

Hi

I unfold everything with Rhino.

very complex shapes.

But with zero thickness.

But its easy to thicken to middle line and then export this face to Rhino.

Rhino even shows a kind of bending lines.

Rhino creates also perfect dxf files to get it back to IC or to the laser cutters.

Good Luck

Carlo
