Abstract
A computer implemented method for designing a form board for manufacturing a wire harness is used to convert a three dimensional computer representation of a wire harness into a two dimensional model of the harness. The method includes modelling the harness as a plurality of segments and iteratively moving each segment into an unfolding plane. A computer generated representation of the two dimensional model is provided.
