Prism flat pattern, top cut at an angle
A tube of equal flat sides whose top is cut by a sloping plane, lowest at the seam corner. Give the number of sides, the size across the corners, the height at the centre and the cut angle.
A straight tube of equal flat sides, its top cut by a plane at an angle.
Sizes you enter
- Sides (n): Number of equal flat sides. At least 3.
- Across the corners (D): The circle round the section, through its corners, on the surface chosen under Sheet.
- Height at the centre (H): From the base to the cut, on the centre line.
- Cut angle (A): The top cut against the base, seen from the front: low at the seam's corner on the left, rising to the right. 0 = square.
What you get
The exact flat pattern of the part, worked out for the sheet thickness measured on the inside, the mean or the outside, with numbered press lines, the part in 3D, its weight and cutting length, and a DXF for laser, plasma or waterjet cutting (STEP as well).
