Plate 'n' Sheet Development 3.0

Plate ’n’ Sheet Development is a specialized CAD tool for creating accurate flat patterns for plate and sheet‑metal components. Designed for fabricators and HVAC/ducting professionals, it offers a library of parametric shapes—such as cones, cylinders, transitions, elbows, and branch intersections—and automatically unfolds them into ready‑to‑cut templates. Users can adjust material thickness, bend allowances, seams, and notches; preview 3D forms alongside 2D developments; and produce full‑scale prints or export to common CAD formats (such as DXF) for CNC cutting.

Key features:

• Library of standard shapes with simple, dimension‑driven inputs
• Automatic unfolding (development) of complex geometries
• Metric and imperial units, scaling, and full‑size tiled printing
• Customizable seams, overlaps, allowances, labels, and reference marks
• Output suitable for plotting and CAD/CAM workflows (e.g., DXF)

Plate 'n' Sheet Development is developed by R and L CAD Services Pty Ltd. The most popular versions of this product among our users are: 2.1 and 3.0. The names of program executable files are PNS.EXE, Pns3.exe.
