Is used to unfold sheet metal models.
By unfolding a sheet metal model, you can produce a SheetMetal_FlatPattern for further machining operations. The resulting unfolded model can be used in preparation of control programs for processing on CNC machines.
Unfolds sheet metal shapes commonly used in the ducting, piping and other steel fabrication industries.
SheetMetal_Unfolder uses K-Factor value that represents the location of the neutral sheet with respect to the thickness of the sheet metal part. The value is between 0 and 1, default value is 0.5.
SheetMetal_Unfolder doesn't provide a features list.
The following pictures illustrate a sheet metal model and its unfolded view.
