you sure you want to bend a flat sheet metal into the shape you have shown? It
may be feasible if you split the "pipe" into two pieces, then you can bend
them, and weld the two pieces together. If it is a closed pipe, it may be a
different procedure, and you can put sand into the pipe and bend the pipe into
the shape you want. Maybe your company has better manufacturing facilities.
solid3dtech.com does provide tool to unfold developable/nondevelopable
surface, you can try it.

talked about the different problems, I can image how Inventor "unroll" the
part you have shown: they just simplify the curved fillet surfaces. You can
just extract the curved fillet surface alone and ask inventor to unroll. See
what happens.
