what i use most is the 2d profiling part, and export to a DXF that is imported for cutting on my machines

i been finding ways to send a dxf to plasma and water jet cut, controlling the led int an led out and the the sequence of the cut, little tricky but can be done,

i also build the 3d models on shark, with some cares you made model that can be easily converted to a a sheet metal part on solid works

i prefer the modeling tools on shark

a simple surface flattening tool has been requested many times in this forum, no luck yet

When you speak of this "surface flattening tool" do you mean something that allows a 3D part to be instantly shown as "flat"? If not can you please give an example?

A tool for develop a curved surface into its flat pattern, a good sample is the smash surface tool and the unroll developable surface tool on rhino, like a cone or cylinder with an intersected solid o hole on it.

here other threads with same or similar request

See the sample, the flat surfaces was unfolded with rhino

I know this thread is a few months old, but I just noticed that Turbocad Pro 17 has Unbend and Unfold Face tools for flattening objects.

Could this be a possibility someday in an future Shark release?
