What is a Development?
Many objects are formed from a flat sheet of material
i.e. Cardboard/Sheet Metal

When the faces of these objects are unfolded to onto a flat plane,
this is known as a Development
Imagine a cube/box

Required shape

Begin to unfold

Now a Development

TRUNCATED HEXAGONAL DEVELOPMENT

To get the true shape
of a surface you need
to look at it from a
90 degree angle

30mm gap
between true
shape and the
elevation.
