Sheet metal - flattening unusual part issue

[stas87]

Hi guys,

so i'm facing a problem that i cannot create a flat pattern for that part. The thing is that in real it will be bended on a special appliance which repeats the angle of models's incline. Is there any way to create a flat pattern? Of course, there's a walkaround method to know the length and rip angle of material needed but nevertheless...

Thank you

It looked to me like you might be doing too much work. (see attached)

(be sure to check the sketch - I made some changes)

Oops, I see I made a bit of a mistake. 

Let me fix that.

Very thank you!

Really too much job i've made.

Will prepare some laser cutter for that stuff 🙂
