Funnel pattern sheet metal.
For creating a cone from sheet metal or any flat material.
Calculates the measurements for the pattern to construct a flat top cone.
A funnel is a very useful household item and a metal funnel can be used with many different kinds of liquid without worry.
There are many different ways to lay out this pattern.
The curved steel cone calculator from chicago metal rolled products makes it easy to find the precise curved steel cone dimensions you need.
Added the function of saving a flat pattern of a straight and truncated cone to a dxf file permission to write the file is required.
See volume calibration templates to mark fluid volumes on cone.

The flat pattern of a cone is an application that calculates the parameters for a development of a right oblique or truncated cone.
To mark holes or lines around the cone check holes or lines and enter number of incremetns enter hole slant height up slanting edge of the cone and hole diameter and hit draw.
Flat top cone calculator.
A cone optionally with the top cut off.
Aligned behaviour for business goals.
Unlike plastic there s very little restriction on the kinds of liquid that can be poured.
View the cone instructions below to learn how to manually layout the flat pattern for a truncated cone in single or multiple gore sections.
Do not score or fold the fold line this template to keep seam smooth.
Can be used to help create the geometry for a beaker vase party hat or lamp shade.
Oct 14 2014 the setting out of the patterns for a funnel is illustrated by fig.
If you d like a real cone just use zero for the top diameter.
Enter top width bottom width and height of the cone see diagram and hit calculate to draw a full scale printable pattern template to mark out the cone.
The finished funnel can easily be wiped clean after use.
Solidworks tutorial sheet metal cone tutorial video how to make cone in solidworks.
It allows you to determine either the size of raw material needed or the number of gore sections to fit on your available material.
It can be constructed from sheet metal using snips and a mig welder.
This is just one way and i find that is the easiest and quickest way.
