Cone Calc 3D for Windows, OSX, Linux
A calculator for the flat pattern dimensions of
several sheet metal shapes.
Enter the desired dimensions of the finished cone
shape. You only need to enter one diameter and
two other of the five possible dimensions of the
final cone. The other dimensions will be calculated
from these. A 3D representation of the cone is
shown.
A drawing of the flat pattern with dimensions is
produced. Also calculated number of cones that
can be cut from a sheet size.
Dimensions:
Entering the cone dimensions.
Enter the desired dimensions of the finished cone
shape.
You only need to enter on diameter and two others
five possible dimensions of the final cone. The
other dimensions will be calculated from these.
•
Bottom diameter and needs to be larger
than the top diameter.
•
Top diameter.
•
Height is the height of the cone. If material is
thick use the height from the inside corners or
outside corners, but not both.
•
Angle is optional in case you don't have one
of the other dimensions.
•
Length is the length along the angle of the
cone.
These dimensions are system agnostic, so if you
enter the cone dimensions in inches the result will
be in inches and if you enter the cone dimensions
in millimeters the results will be in millimeters.
To calculate the result, click "Calculate" button at
the top of the page.
Press F2 to Calculate cone. or Main Menu -
Calculate. A 3D model of the calculated cone is
displayed on the Solid tab. The Dimensions that
you did not enter are filled in with green color from
the calculations. The model is interactive so you
can change a dimension and press enter key and
the model will change. You can hold down the left
mouse button and drag the view of the cone
around in the window.
You will notice that this example the last two items
in the Enter Cone Dimensions box are blue. The
blue items were calculated from the other data
that was given for your reference.
After calculating, you can see the results on the
Result and the Sheet tabs.
On the Flat Shape tab you will find the dimensions
of the resulting flat pattern that you would
manufacture and later bend around so the two
straight edges meet. the result is a cone shape.
A drawing is made in the window of the flat pattern
shape with the dimensions labeled.
Flat Shape Tab:
On the Flat Shape Tab is shown a drawing of the
Flat Pattern and the dimensions that are needed to
make the flat pattern.
After calculating, you can see the results on the
Result and the Sheet tabs.
On the Flat Shape tab you will find the dimensions

shape with the dimensions labeled.
Sheet Tab:
Optionally, you can enter the size of a sheet of
material for calculating how many flat cone patterns
will fit on it.
If you entered a sheet size, there will be a drawing
representation on the Sheet tab.
Enter a value in "Clearance Between" if you want
there to be a distance for spacing between the
patterns on the sheet.
You can zoom and pan the drawing. Zoom in and
out with the mouse wheel. Control-Left-Mouse
button, or Middle Mouse button will drag the
picture around.
The Zoom All button will bring you back to window
size.
Enter a value in "Clearance Between" if you want
there to be a distance horizontal and for extra
spacing between the patterns on the sheet.
Irregular Cone:
Sometimes you need a cone with an offset top hole
or angled top or bottom. These cones are real
cones but the flat pattern cannot be described by
radial dimensions. In order to make these cones
you would have to have a pattern that you could
put on the material to draw the shape so you can
cut it. Thats where Printing the Flat pattern comes
in below.
You can modify the cones in several ways:
•
Shift the top. (shifting the top one way is the
equivalent of shifting the bottom the other
way)
•
Angle of Top hole. Can be plus or minus.
•
Angle of Bottom hole
•
Top Ellipse short axis. The long axis is the Top
Diameter.
•
Bottom Ellipse short axis. The long axis is the
Bottom Diameter.
Elliptical Cones:
You can make a cone that has an ellipse on the top
or bottom instead of a circle. These are the
equivalent of a regular cone that has been
squooshed into a oval or ellipse. The flat pattern
has been compensated for the squooshed shape.
When you assemble it, it will be a regular cone
shape that you have to squoosh to your planned
elliptical shape.
Saving and Loading:
You can save the cone dimensions you entered
incase you want to use them again later.
Main Menu - File - Save Definition
You can load those settings again with Main Menu -
File - Load Definition
Printing:
You can print out a single sheet report that shows
the cone dimensions entered, flat pattern results,
and drawings of the single and full sheet flat
patterns.
Main Menu - File - Print Data Sheet
Printing Flat Pattern:
Main Menu - File - Save Flat Pattern PDF
This creates a multiple page PDF file that has a full
scale drawing of the flat pattern. This PDF can be
printed on a printer on multiple sheets of paper.
The sheets can be cut out for use as a pattern for
other material. Make sure when you print the PDF
file you set it to print to actual size.
Saving drawing to CAD file:
It is possible to save the single shape and sheet flat
patterns to a CAD file for importing into another
CAD program.
Each one is saved by pressing the button on its own
tab. Save the single pattern by pressing the Save
CAD button on the Flat Shape tab and save the
sheet pattern by pressing Save CAD button the the
Sheet tab.
File will be saved as DXF format. In Windows you
can choose the filetype from the dropdown list. In
OSX it will save it according to what file extension
you give it.
Main Menu - File - Save Flat Pattern CAD will save
the flat pattern drawing to a DXF, CDL or IGS file.
Main Menu - File - Save 3D CAD will save the
wireframe CAD of the 3D cone shape to a DXF, CDL
or IGS file.
Settings:
Main Menu - File - Settings will bring up Settings
dialog.
The Units setting will affect the printing of the
Flat Pattern PDF
Square to Round:
ConeCalc3D also has square to round feature. You
can have rectangular base, offset the top hole X
and Y, angle the top, and define number of corner
bends.
Spiral Flight:
A Spiral Flight is for creating Screw Conveyors &
Augers.The created flat pattern makes one blade
section of the screw conveyor. You make many
single sections and weld them around a central
rod.
Pipe Intersection:
Make a pipe end that fits onto another cylinder.
