Does anyone know how to make a drawing of an unfolded Square to round duct piece that has real fold lines shown so that someone can actually fabricate the piece? The unfolded default sheet metal piece has no such markings. I was wondering if anyone has solved this problem already and can suggest to me the technique.
thx. Biebz.
Your assumption is that this is simple. It isn't.
The best I can say is that you can do Lofts in SolidWorks of the exact size square and circle you want, and then image how you would break up the loft into segements which could be semiconically developed, piece by piece.
As TOP noted..."simple. It isn't"
I've seen pieces done like this in military devices where they can spend the money to do it when they must, and they often investment cast the needed piece. If the sizes are compatible, maybe explosive hydro forming can be used.
