FastSHAPES Modules
FastSHAPES® is the generic name for a suite of Plate & Sheet development software programs specifically designed for heavy fabrication where the main jointing technology is welding.
The DR. CONE software module represents the classical trade school / college development exercise for conical developments in sheet and plate. The program simultaneously demonstrates the differences between radial line development as implemented in FastSHAPES® and the uncompensated triangulation development (the traditional lofting method taught in many schools). The program provides both qualitative and quantitative comparisons of uncompensated triangulation with radial line method applied to a right circular cone. This module is usually supplied as part of the full shape set under our Educational License.
