3D Parametric Unfolding Method for Sheet-Metal Part

Article Preview

Abstract:

The unfolding is the first step for the manufacturing of the sheet-metal part, which plays a major role for the accuracy and quality of the final product. Unfortunately, the inefficiency of the traditional drawing-based method made the process boring and sometime confusing. The CAD method made benefit for the designer. By means of the 3D modeling kernel and the mathematic model of unfolding process, the automatic design system of sheet-metal part was developed, in which the models are parametric and in 3D environment.
