Hello

I have a piece that I would like to convert into sheet metal to make a flat in order to cut it. It is an ellipse trunk

Here is your piece

like SW 2017 I don't pass you (if in the end) the file

but the attached image where I put sides to you

to use this image in a sketch and create your unfolded room

The unfolding was done with the Surface Flattening tool

and then I thickened 

Which student version do you have

@+ ;-)

ps:

You also have the possibility to convert to sheet metal

convert curves to 3D sketches

and make a unfolded

via a straight line and your 3D sketches

Thank you!!! I'm going to download the 2017 version...I have the 2012!

 

to save time you could print me on an A3, 1/1 scale the drawing? I have to cut it out.

 

Thank you

you just have to take the image

and scale it up you have the desired sides

and make your play on 2012

See this tutorial

ok if I understand the part you made is not made from my file? Did you make an ellipse trunk and unfold it?

7

no the part is well and truly the unfolded of your file

I simply tell you to take the image I put on the answer in a sketch and to redo the unfolded room since you are in SW2012

c all

The goal is not to make you your play but to provide you with solutions so that you can get there. Otherwise you won't have learned anything!

Transition Fold:

Draw your large diameter (open of course for folding) on a plane then the same thing on an offset plane and you use the sheet metal function "Transition fold"

Does it also work with an elipse!!

You can unfold your sheet metal, export the DXF etc.  :)

Ok, I have my ellipse trunk but I block to unfold it:

It's okay, I found it! on the face it was necessary to put an edge of the cut and at the fold to unfold the contour of the ellipse.

thank you Ronathan
