The software SHEET CAD is able to process 180 different types of sheet unfoldings. Three-dimensional structures such as containers, pipe bend elbows, pipe branchings, screw conveyors and adapters can easily be created using this software.Just select the required design from the supplied options. You are now able to enter the dimensions directly into the displayed drawing. The three-dimensional structure which is drawn to scale now rotates on the screen for initial inspection. Full-scale unfolding can now be displayed by a simple mouse click.

Products can be easily manufactured from two-dimensional sheet unfoldings using parameters such as fold lines, flame-cut additions, folded seams etc. The position of the welding seam can be modified interactively.

Large sheet unfoldings can be assembled from several small sheets like a puzzle. A net of sheet metal plates of a given size is displayed on top of the unfolding contour and can be shifted using the mouse to a position which optimizes material requirements. Co-ordinates are then given for each metal sheet

Technical calculation parameters such as unfolding length and width, sheet di-mensions, sheet weights, length of cuts and welded seams etc. can be printed as a table for each individual design.
Arc-line interpolation data output can be generated if a NC machine has been connected. The contour then comprises basket-handle arches and straight lines. You have the choice between x-y co-ordinates and a compass construction for a manual drawing.

A large number of parameters, such as

• accuracy of line interpolation

• accuracy of arc interpolation

• stamp length

• minimal distance between figures

• number of fold lines

• number of interpolation points

• seam size

• size of allowance

• drawing parameters can be modified, thus making SHEET CAD a flexible and powerful software program.
  

All unfoldings which have been created can be further processed and modified in the following manner at any time:

• interpolation using lines

• interpolation using arcs

• interpolation using stamps

• fold line distance from contours

• drawing with dashes

• drawing with straight lines

• drawing with bridges

• drawing with notches

• addition of folding lines

• addition of a standardised seam

• addition of different seams

• addition of a standardised allowance

• addition of a different allowance
  puzzle

• location of welding seams

• optimisation of welding seams

• sorting of parts

• contour removal

• part removal

SHEET CAD can create data files in DXF, CNC and ME 10 (HP) format for data exchange. The most common flame-cutting machines are already interfaced and a modification to interface further machines can easily be implemented.

Standard and complex seams can be added to each unfolding contour and then further modified interactively. Folded seams can also be regarded as connections to save material or welding seams.

It is also possible to enter the geometry as thick-walled and to specify maximum welding gaps for the most important de-signs. Connection pieces can be entered as "stuck on" or "struck through".

Bending angles of each folding line can be given in a table for the most common designs.
Any regular cylinder and adapter piece can be designed and unfolded using Design 163.
