What is development?

Introduction
When the surfaces of a solid are laid
out on a plane, the figure obtained is
called as development.
The development of a solid, thus
represents the actual shape of all of
its surfaces which, when bent or
folded at the edges would form the
solid.
3
It is very important to note
that, the every line on the
development must be true
length of the corresponding
edge on the surface.
The surfaces are also true
shapes and points are at their
true positions.
4
The study of development of
surfaces is essential
particularly in sheet metal
work. The boilers, funnels,
chimneys, etc. are constructed
by the plates which are marked
and cut according to the
developments which, when
folded, form desired objects.

Theory of development
6
The surface of polyhedra (such as prisms
and pyramids), and single curved surfaces
(cones and cylinders) can be accurately
developed.

Exercise A (Development of
surface of solids)
Instructions:
• The solids are to be considered as hollow
• Make use of MEASURE, DIVIDE, ARRAY (R
& P) commands wherever possible.
• Be habitual with INT, END, PERP, TAN, MID
options while drawing lines.
• Make use of F8 and F9 key wherever if
necessary.
• While drawing a development of surfaces
of solids the starting point ‘S’ and opening
direction (ccw or cw) is important.
