Sheet metal layout calculator.

Sheet metal development calculator is a really simple tool for calculation of development of a sheet metal part. It allows you to determine either the size of raw material needed or the number of gore sections to fit on your available material. Here are the steps to be followed to calculate sheet metal flat length. Online panel cutting optimization software.

With this free online tool we quickly get the sheet metal bend deduction and therefore the sheet metal blank initial flat length from the finished part measurements. Cells on the right will output the desired values. You only have to insert interior angle flange lengths k factor inside radius and material thickness. Keep default values in calculator as zero.

Generate optimized cutting patterns based on the available stock sheets by nesting the required parts. Value of bend deduction and flat pattern are shown in result section. Enter flange length internal radius and thickness values. The curved steel cone calculator from chicago metal rolled products makes it easy to find the precise curved steel cone dimensions you need.
