Abstract

Disclosed is a method for designing a development drawing of a developable surface, the method including the steps of: setting a control contour from a circumference surface of a 3-dimensional model; performing an algorithm LIDM-GC-Dvlp to search a control point set; outputting a control point of a profile curve; visualizing a developable surface typed general circumference surface; modifying a design by a user depending on the visualized result; selecting a developable surface segment intended to generate the development drawing; and performing an algorithm LIDM-GC-Plane-Dvlp for the control point to generate the development drawing.
