straighten the pipes

[morezz]

Hello everyone,

I should make a tubular structure with curved round tubes and laser cut graft shapes. the company that deals with cutting works on straight tubes and I was asked if I can supply the 3d tubes already straightened. I got the tubes from a 3d sketch with the function to realize the welded structures, but I can not understand how to straighten the tube to make the laser cut before the fold. attached I put one of the tubes I have to make.

Thank you.

It's a handy operation. you need to trim all the curves, measure the length and add it to the remaining part after the trim. I don't know applications for pipe development.
