Sheet Metal Pattern Development
Identify the procedures associated with joining and installing sheet metal duct.
Sheet metal pattern development. A development is a flat representation or pattern that when folded together creates a 3 d object. Development of patterns from sheet materials engineering drawing many articles such as cans pipes elbows boxes ducting hoppers etc. Are manufactured from thin sheet materials. Generally a template is produced from an orthographic drawingwhen small quantities are required largerquantities may justify the use of press tools and the template will include allowances for bending and seams bearing in mind the thickness of material used.
Many articles such as cans pipes elbows boxes ducting hoppers etc. Identify the different types of fiberglass duct systems. They are parallel line radial line and triangular development. The flat shape is known as a development.

Unfolding software for commonly used shapes used in the metals plastics and insulation industries. Constructing development shapes with mathematics the construction of 3 d models from pieces from flat cardboard or thin sheet metal requires some mathematical and geometrical application. Starting with simple 3 d forms we can calculate the shape of the flat 2 d object needed to make it. Describe procedures utilized in sheet metal development.
We will also discuss the fabrication of edges joints seams and notches. Are manufactured from thin sheet materials. Sheet metal construction is the most common application for developments and intersections. The resulting flat pattern gives the true size of each connected area of the form so that the part or structure can be fabricated.
The goal of this manual is to help you gain an understanding of precision sheet metal layout and show you how to do flat pattern development while becoming more efficient with math in the shop. Development of patterns from sheet materials. Identify the different types of sheet metal duct systems.
