Description
Fab Shop Cone Layout generates accurate flat patterns for cones and transitions — concentric or eccentric cone frustums, square/rectangular-to-round, oval-to-round, and pyramid transitions — ready to send straight to your CNC burn table. Exports DXF files. A focused $0.99/year tool for sheet metal fabricators, with a free 3-day trial.

Could you build this?
Partial While the UI and DXF export wrappers are straightforward, deriving exact 2D sheet metal unfolding geometry and bend allowances for eccentric and transition shapes requires precise mechanical sheet metal drafting math.
What it would actually take: The core engine requires implementing geometric unfolding algorithms (triangulation and radial line development) for truncated cones, eccentric frustums, and square-to-round transitions, accounting for material thickness and bend radius compensation. The output must generate clean CAD-compliant polylines formatted strictly to the DXF specification (using libraries like maker.js or dxf-writer) to ensure compatibility with CNC plasma and laser burn tables. Expertise in computational geometry and sheet metal fabrication CAD standards is required.
