"merlature" on curvilinear sheet + development

[reggio]

hi, I find myself having to create an upside-down "t" support that develops along a curved path almost to "8", so I would like to create the base of the "t" overturned with holes/greeks/wires/wires, and then create the other part with male profiles to be able to frame it as seen in the image and in the annex.

I created base path and slits, I arose when I tried to do the other part.... tangent, not tangent... I mean, he didn't go out well. then I increased the depth of the spacing from both sides and it seems that it goes well.

But now I can't understand how I should do to create the vertical part (I will do it in another file separated from the base) in developing sheet (for laser cutting lamierist)

How would you do that?

..ok, perhaps to create the developable sheet must create it from the profile directly from the sheet and not with the sweep...

tomorrow I try:

This could be an idea.. to "develop" better perhaps, but seems to work (bottom is a normal strip of sheet):View attachment Greca 1.rarof course the two parts will be mounted together

hi, I had done it with the guided repetition but I consider your best and more realistic method (I refer to the faces of the thickness of the slits in the curve), in any case I anticipate a little play between male and female.

in any case I anticipate some game between male and female.

In fact, the part to be set up was just that.
to make fast I made the sketches of those cuts "copying them" from the male with the intersection curve (taking him the reference); Of course they should be a little wider.. was just to show you the developability of the vertical strip.

if you use curved repetition the steps are not right in curved traits; speech that has already been seen in discussions about repeating chain links. .
