As a manufacturer of 40 years, the last 30 as the workshop manager, I have constantly used trigonometry etc. to calculate cones, segmented curves and much more. Currently the workers constantly ask me to calculate the developed lengths etc. to save them time and effort. I have developed this application so that you can calculate them for yourself and therefore save "MY TIME"
With this angled branch developer, you can quickly develop the patterns for the branch tube and the shell hole.
Enter the necessary details, that is, outer diameter of the branch and shell, branch angle, length of the branch and if necessary the thickness of the branch. Press develop and the details of the branch and the hole are shown ready for marking directly on the material. This application is a great time saver, when taken into account, it is not necessary to draw the full size of the branch in two views and then transfer the development lines etc. to determine the true joint line, or calculate the pitches of the development lines.
All the development of the branch pattern are for the outer diameter of the shell and hole pattern developments are for the outer diameter of the branch. If you need to work to within the diameter of the branch for the hole pattern, then you can develop the branch using the outside branch diameter and shell as normal and mark off the branch, then redevelop the hole using the inside of the branch. diameter of the branch and the outside diameter of the shell, then the inside of the branch goes flush with the edge of the hole.
Keep in mind! In the results screen, the drawings of the branch and hole patterns are representative only and show the general shape of the patterns
