INTRODUCTION:
There are three basic ways to shape materials: removing pieces from a solid lump, casting or molding appropriate
materials, or bending sheet material.
If the sheet material is used, it needs to be shaped beforehand so that it matches the desired size and shape after
bending. When designing a component from sheet material, the designer needs to visualize and draw the final 3D
component, as well as calculate and draw its shape when laid out on a 2D sheet.
This process of unfolding the 3D solid is called "development."
Most engineering components have shapes that are either whole or parts of prisms, pyramids, cylinders, or cones.
Cylinders
If you painted the curved surface of a cylinder and, while the paint was wet, placed the cylinder on a flat surface and
then rolled it once, the pattern that the paint left on the flat surface would be the development of the curved surface of
the cylinder. Figure 14.6 shows the shape that would evolve if the cylinder was cut obliquely at one end. The length of
the development would be πD, the circumference.
The oblique face has been divided into 12 equal parts and numbered. You can see where each number will touch the
flat surface as the cylinder is rolled.
The general method of developing a cylinder of this nature is similar to those shown above. The plan of the cylinder is
divided into 12 equal sectors and the location of the sectors that are within the circular cut-out are projected down to
the FE and across to the development.
There are some more points that must also be plotted. These are 3' , 5' , 9' and 11'. Their positions can be seen most
easily on the FE and they are projected up to the plan. The plan shows how far they are away from points 3, 5, 9 and 11
and these distances, a and b, can be transferred to the development. The exact positions of these points can then be
projected across from the FE to the development.
To develop an intersecting cylinder (Fig. 14.10).
Cones
Figure 14.17 shows how if a cone is tipped over and then rolled it will trace out its development. The development
forms a sector of a circle whose radius is equal to the slant height of the cone. The length of the arc of the sector is
equal to the circumference of the base of the cone.
If the base of the cone is divided into 12 equal sectors that are numbered from 1 to 12, the points where the numbers
touch the flat surface as the cone is rolled can be seen.
This development, with one addition, is similar to the last example. Divide the plan into 12 sectors, number them and
project them up to the FE. Draw the basic development and mark and number the sectors on this development. The
points where the lines joining the apex to numbers 3, 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11 cross the hole are projected horizontally to the
side of the cone. They are then swung round to meet their respective sectors on the development.
There are four more points that need to be plotted. These are found by drawing tangents to the hole from the apex to
meet the base in 6' 8' and 2' 12' :Project these points down to the plan so that their distances from the nearest sector
line can be measured with dividers and transferred to the development. The point of tangency is then projected onto
the development from the FE in the usual way.
To develop an oblique cone (Fig. 14.21). (An oblique cone, unlike a right cone,
does not have its apex directly above the centre of its base.)
In the plan, Fig. 14.21, the base is divided into 12 equal sectors. These sectors are numbered and lines are drawn from
each sector to the apex A. The true length of each of these lines is found by swinging them round in the plan to 2' , 3' ,
etc., and projecting up to the FE to give the true lengths A1, A2' , A3' , etc.
With centre A, arcs are drawn with radii equal to these true lengths.
The distance R on the plan (approximately 1 circumference of the base circle) 12
is stepped from arc to arc, starting from point 7. The points are then joined together
with a neat curve.
Pyramids
Figure 14.12 shows how the development of a pyramid is found. If a pyramid is tipped over so that it lies on one of its
sides and is then rolled so that each of its sides touches in turn, the development is traced out. The development is
formed within a circle whose radius is equal to the true length of one of the corners of the pyramid.
Prisms
Figure 14.1 shows how a square prism is unfolded and its development obtained. Note that where there are corners in
the undeveloped solid, these are shown as
