Lobsterback Duct Bends Sheetmetal Method

This is the method I use to construct lobster back bends with sheet metal tools that I can produce flat patterns from, These flat patterns can then be used to produce files for CNC profile cutting machines. I have come across other ways of doing this using surfaces, thickened and turned into sheet metal parts. The software I am using is Alibre Design. As the version I have is low on surfacing tools I have found this a good way to model lobster back bends, which I have been involved with the design and manufacture for many years.

RHINO 7 = RHINO 5 PLUS SCULPTRIS

Rhino introduced the SubD command bar in releases 6 and 7. If you still have the previous releases (4-5) one solution I've experimented with is to bundle Rhino 5 with free art modeling software. Even though I have the Rhino 7 release, I can't load it on one of old laptop of mine, so I tried SCULPTRIS, freely downloadable from the web: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculptris Files can be exchanged in .OBJ. One limitation of Sculptris is that it sometimes has difficulty importing complex objects. Another limitation of Sculptris is that the starting object to be modeled is a sphere, when instead it would be preferable to start from a cube. This is only a starting free solution, which can be implemented with other more complete artistic software.

Loft magic

When it comes to organic NURBS shapes like that, nothing can beat the quality, simplicity and History-enabled modification that Loft with the “Loose” option provides. A good practice is to use profile curves with the same degree and amount of control points. I started by creating the round base by using the Circle command with the “Deformable” option and 8 control points. Then, I simply copied it a few times and modified each one individually by moving its control points in the desired location. I also used Scale 3D and Scale 1D to adjust the overall size of each profile curve. As I moved or modified each intermediate curve, the History-enabled Loft surface updated in real-time, thus it let me decide what changes I needed to make to achieve the desired shape. NOTE: In this example initially I used the “Normal” option of Loft, which is not a good way to do the shape. The video capture was interrupted for some reason and stopped far earlier, so you will not see how I then deleted the loft surface and create
