Cone Calc
Free software for calculating the flat sheet pattern of a cone. For Windows, Mac, IOS and Android.
Filling the cone dimensions
On the Enter Data tab is a picture of an example finished cone shape. It is a cross section view. It
has the possible dimensions labeled.
You can choose Full cone or Half cone. Half cone would be helpful if you needed to make it in
two halves and weld it together.
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.
You can enter a Part Number for identification purposes.
•
Diameter A is the bottom diameter and needs to be larger than the top diameter.
•
Diameter B is the 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.
•
Overlap is optional. See below.
These dimensions are system agnostic, so if you enter the cone dimensions 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" on the Main Menu, or press F2 function key.
Optionally, you can enter the size of a sheet of material for calculating how many flat cone
patterns will fit on it.
Enter a value in "Clearance Between" if you want there to be a distance for extra spacing
between the patterns on the sheet.
After calculating, you can see the results on the Result and the Sheet tabs.
On the Result 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.
You will notice that this example the last two items in the Enter Cone Dimensions box are
green. The green items were calculauted from the other data that was given for your
reference.
If you entered a sheet size, there will be a drawing representation on the Sheet tab.
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.
Overlap
Normally, the flat pattern dimensions are are exact and dont have any extra material for
overlapping the edges. If you want extra material on the edges of the cone then add here. The
material is added evenly along the edge. If you enter 0.5" for overlap the shape of the original
will be produced on the screen with the addition of red lines offset from each edge by 0.25. The
dimensions shown will be to the red lines of the extra material.
Saving and Loading
You can save the cone dimensions you entered incase you want to use them again later.
Main Menu - File - Save Data
You can load those settings again with Main Menu - File - Open
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
Saving drawing to CAD file
It is possible to save the single 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 Result tab and save the sheet pattern by pressing Save CAD button the
the Sheet tab.
Language
Has the ability to use a user defined language file for any language.
