Calculation method
Calculation method
Flat blank width (mm)
sum(a)+sum(b)
Blank lengths per run including laps (m)
J([[v,max(1,ceil((v-d)/(e-d))),v+max(0,ceil((v-d)/(e-d))-1)*d] for v in c])
Total developed blank area (m²)
(sum(a)+sum(b))/1000*sum(v+max(0,ceil((v-d)/(e-d))-1)*d for v in c)

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Supplied bend additions encode approved neutral-axis allowances. Stock length>lap≥0. No automatic bend deduction or metalworking design. Supported limits: All numeric inputs must be finite. Only the explicitly described mathematical scenario is supported.
