modelling challenge : bellow as sheetmetal

May 05, 2006 0 Replies

one of our customers has a nice modelling challenge : model this bellow made of a textile material (like leather) in a way that it can be represented in folded/unfolded positions and such that it can be flattened just like a sheetmetal part. See the pictures :

but cannot unfold the thing, I think because the faces aren't really flat... Any better idea on how to do it ? Thanks! Philippe Guglielmetti
