I have a many sheet metal parts that are parabolic and elliptical and i need to flatten them for nesting and cutting purposes. can this be done and if so, how? i've looked at the help file, but no luck, so i thought i'd ask the brain trust. thanks
Can you use lofted bend?
Single curved surfaces or double curved?
haven't used that, but will give it a shot...
single... the parts i make that are ellipitical or parabolic are usually for reflectors or antenna style sheetmetal, so that's why i need them flattened... especially if i need to hem edges, etc. etc...
Rectify the curve.
how do i do that?
