Flat Pattern

Flat Pattern is a specialized calculator designed to streamline and simplify the creation of flat pattern layouts for various fabrication purposes. It caters to professionals in industries such as pressure vessel fabrication, process equipment construction, welding, insulation, ductwork, heavy equipment manufacturing, storage tank creation, agitators, mechanical equipment, structures, industrial fabrication, and heat exchangers. This tool provides accurate dimensions for constructing segments like lobsterback bends, elbows, tees, frustums, and cones, using accessible vertex and triangulation methods.

One of the top features includes detailed layouts for truncated pipes, intersecting cones and pipes at perpendicular angles, pipes truncated by radius, full cones, and transitions from rectangle to round or square, as well as round to rectangle or square. Users will also find advantages in utilizing the polygonal pyramid pattern layout and the creation of screw flight layouts.

With added capability of saving these developments to DXF files, users can seamlessly export flat patterns and open them with any CAD software such as AutoCAD. The generated DXF file is ready for use with laser or CNC machines, facilitating precision cutting of sheet materials. Moreover, the compatibility with mobile devices enables the opening of files with various DWG/DXF viewers like DWG FastView and AutoDWG DWGSee on smartphones.

Through comprehensive functionality, this calculator aims to enhance efficiency and precision for professionals in fabrication and construction fields, ultimately becoming an essential tool in their digital toolkit.
