Dear Dan Eifert
Thank You very much for the reply. I have tried that mathematically
developable surfaces can be easily be flat patterned in Pro/E Sheet metal,
but I want to know that can mathematically nondevelopable surfaces can be
also approximately flattened in Pro/E or any other software.
Thanks in advance
Saurabh
