Development - Technical Drawing - 2020

A development is a 2D drawing or pattern of a 3D object projected onto a single plane. When cut out, the pattern can be folded into the original 3D shape. There are different types of developments for different shapes: parallel line for prisms and cylinders, radial line for cones and pyramids, and triangulation for polyhedrons. Elements included in developments are truncates, frustums, and seams. Common methods are parallel line, radial line, triangulation, and approximate developments. Students are given examples and assignments to practice developments of prisms, pyramids, cones, and cylinders.

Developments

A development is a 3D drawing or object


showing the shape of one or more faces of a
solid or a truncated solid laid out flat in one
plane. They are also called pattern, the plane
may show the true size of each area of the
object. When the pattern is cut, it can be rolled
or folded back into its shape/pattern.

Classifications of Development

Prisms

A prism is named according to the shape of its base. Its edges are parallel to one another. A
line passing through the centre of each end is called the axis.

Pyramids
A pyramid is also named according to the shape of its base. It has sloping sides meeting at a point
called the apex, which is vertically above the centre of the base. The axis passes through the centre
of the base and the apex.

Cones

A solid figure described by the revolution of a right-angled triangle about one of its sides which
remains fixed and is called the axis. The base of the cone is circular in shape.

Cylinder

A solid figure described by the revolution of a rectangle, about one its sides which remain fixed
and is called axis. The end ends of a cylinder are circular to shape.

Methods of development of surfaces are:


1. Parallel line development
2. Radial line development
3. Triangulation development
4. Approximate development

Elements of a development

1) Truncate – To shorten something by cutting off the top/end.


2) Frustum – It is the portion of a solid.
3) Seam – It’s a line where two pieces are joined together.

Parallel line development - uses parallel lines to construct the expanded pattern of each three-
dimensional shape. The method divides the surface into a series of parallel lines to determine the
shape of a pattern. Example: Prism, Cylinder.

Radial line development - uses lines radiating


from a central point to construct the expanded
pattern of each three-dimensional shape. Example:
Cone, Pyramid.

Triangulation developments - are made from polyhedrons,


single curved surfaces, and wrapped surfaces. Example:
Tetrahedron and other polyhedrons.

In approximate development, - the shape obtained is only


approximate. After joining, the part is stretched or distorted to
obtain the final shape. Example: Sphere.
