A development is the unfold / unrolled flat / plane figure of a 3-D object.
It is also called a pattern where the plane may show the true size of each area of
the object.
When the pattern is cut, it can be rolled or folded back into the original object as
shown in figure.
Surface development is a full size layout of an object drawn on a plane.
Some objects are made of flat sheet metal. When the sheet is cut as per this
layout, folded and joined together, it takes the shape of an object.
AN OBJECT HOLLOW AND MADE-UP OF THIN SHEET. CUT OPEN IT FROM ONE
SIDE AND UNFOLD THE SHEET COMPLETELY. THEN THE SHAPE OF THAT
UNFOLDED SHEET IS CALLED DEVELOPMENT OF LATERAL SURFACES OF THAT
OBJECT OR SOLID.

APPLICATIONS:
The knowledge of development of surfaces is very useful in the sheet metal
industry, where products like utensils, cans, buckets, hoppers, domes, etc. are
manufactured.
Imagine an industry where domestic refrigerators are manufactured. The ultimate
shape of a refrigerator is made from the sheet metal. Its door is first made on a
plain sheet and then cut and folded to form the door.
To make a funnel out of a sheet, what should be the shape of the sheet which,
when folded, forms the final shape of the funnel?
A tailor first prepares a development drawing on a cloth to cut and stitch the
correct shape and size of a shirt.
A development gives the shape and plane area of the material which enables the
cost to be estimated.
Development should be such as to allow the minimum waste of material when the
shape is cut out.

Types of development
1-Parallel line development: In this parallel lines are used to construct the
expanded pattern of each three-dimensional shape. The method divides the
surface into a series of parallel lines to determine the shape of a pattern.

2- Radial line development: In this, lines radiating from a central point to
construct the expanded pattern of each three-dimensional shape is used.
These shapes each form part of a cone and lines radiating from the vertex of
the cone generate the expanded pattern of the curved surface as shown in
the following explorations.

3-Approximate development: In this, the shapes obtained are only
approximate. After joining, the part is stretched or distorted to obtain the
final shape.
4- Triangulation method: This is generally used for polyhedron, single
curved surfaces, and warped surfaces.

Problem 1. Procedure:
Step-1 Draw a horizontal x-y line of some suitable length.
Step-2 Draw a circle of radius 32.5 mm below the x-y line at some suitable distance from it.
Divide this circle into 12 equal divisions as shown in the figure. Give notations on it. It is top
view of the cone.
Step-3 From the center of the circle in the top view, draw a vertical center line of length 75
mm from the x-y line as shown in the figure. And from these notations of the circle draw
vertical projectors up to x-y line, and then converge all these projectors at the end of the
center line i.e. apex of the cone (point o’) as shown into the figure. It is a triangular shape.
And Give the notations on it.
Step-4 Draw a horizontal center line at the distance 25 mm above the x-y line, and a vertical
center line at the distance 10 mm on the right of the vertical center line as shown in the
figure. From the intersection of the above two center lines, draw a circle of radius 15 mm.
Step-5 Give the cutting points name at the intersection of the previously drawn circle with

Problem 1. Procedure:
Step-6 Now find out the angle covered by the cone when it is opened completely, by the
equation , where L = Length of the last generator i.e., o’-a’ or o’-g’. = Angle subtended by
the two extreme generators of the cone, when it is opened completely. r = Radius of the
base circle of the cone. From this equation find out the value of in degree.
Step-7 Draw a line parallel to and equal to the length of the last generator i.e., o’-g’, at
some suitable distance from the front view. Give that line the name O-A as shown in the
figure. With O as center and radius equal to OA, draw an arc such that the angle subtended
by the arc should be equal to , which you have found out from the previous equation. This
is the full development of the vertical surface of the cone.
Step-8 Divide this developed surface of the cone in 12 equal divisions, angle wise, as
shown in the figure. And give the notations in capital letters. i.e., A, B, C etc.
Step-9 Now in the front view, from the cutting points on the small circle of radius 15 mm,
draw horizontal lines, parallel with x-y line, such that these lines should meet with the last
generator i.e., o’-g’, in the front view.
