Create an arch from a straight profile

Hello

I am looking to make a part with a curvature from a 2d profile in order to cut the part on a polystyrene cnc

I found a video to explain what I'm trying to achieve

My question is there a way to calculate the cuts I need to make in the cut according to the profile ?

Thank you

Hello

The only way I know is to divide and then after doing this divide the total angle by the number of sections.

Calculate the inter and outer lengths for each identical radius

 subtract the inter length of the outer loger

you will find the length to cut

This said length will be divided x times for your triangle cuts

knowing that the point of each triangle will be at the axis of each part of the cut line 

the more cutting you have, the better the result will be

Hello

Do you have a little diagram, so that I can see what you want to do?

Hello

See if in principle this is what you would like. If it suits you, all you have to do is modify my piece according to your needs. I made it in SolidWorks 2016
