Developable Product Forms
Developable Surface
In mathematics, a developable surface is a surface that can be flattened onto a plane without distortion
Many developable surfaces can be visualised as the surface formed by moving a straight line in space
Developable surfaces that can be realized in 3D space are cylinders, cones, planes
Spheres are not developable as they cannot be unrolled into a plane
All developable surfaces are ruled surfaces Not all ruled surfaces are developable surface,
hyperboloids are examples of ruled surfaces that are not developable
Developable Product Forms
Straight ruled surfaces appears on many products formed by folding and bending sheet materials
Skilful combination of ruled surfaces can make a mathematically simple developable surface looks as dynamic as very complex surface
By introducing free-form curves and varying the matching endpoints, designers can introduce dynamism to the product form

Sheet Metal Forming
Bending
Bending is a common manufacturing method to process sheet metal. It is usually done on a bend press (or break press), but also swing-bending-machines are used. Typical products that are made like this are electrical enclosures

Rolling
Rolling is a fabricating process in which the metal, plastic, paper, glass, etc. is passed through a pair of rolls
There are two types of rolling process, flat and profile rolling
In flat rolling the final shape of the product is either classed as sheet (typically thickness less than 3 mm, also called "strip") or plate (typically thickness more than 3 mm)
In profile rolling, the final product may be a round rod or other shaped bar such as a structural section (beam, channel, joist etc)
Heavy plate tends to be formed using a press process, and is termed forming, rather than rolling
Roll Forming
Roll forming is a continuous bending operation in which a long strip of metal is passed through consecutive sets of rolls, or stands, each performing only an incremental part of the bend, until the desired cross-section profile is obtained
Ideal for producing parts with long lengths or in large quantities
A variety of cross-section profiles can be produced, but each profile requires a carefully crafted set of roll tools
Activity – Lamp-shade Design
Design a new lamp-shade for IKEA DINGE, the design should be manufactured by cutting and folding PP plastic sheet
Test your design on paper
Cut your final design on card
