LITIO - 3D Sheet Metal Unfolder

LITIO - 3D Sheet Metal Unfolder is a handy add-on for AutoCAD that makes it super easy to calculate and draw the flat layout of different sheet metal parts. Whether you're working on connections, cones, pipe intersections, or elbows, this tool has got you covered!

What Can LITIO Do?

This add-on helps you figure out how to unfold various components like ducts and rectangle-to-round transitions. It’s all about making your sheet metal calculations simpler and faster.

How Does It Work?

Since LITIO is designed to work with AutoCAD, you'll need to have that installed first. Once you're set up, all you have to do is select the 3D surface you want to unfold. You can pick inside, outside, or mid-cross-sectional dimensions along with height values.

Customizing Your Design

You can choose whether to draw the 3D surface or just the unfolded sheet as a mesh (which helps in bending) or a simple 2D contour for easier cutting. Plus, you can adjust the precision of the development calculation based on your needs!

Units of Measurement

The great thing about LITIO is that it supports both Metric and Imperial units! So no matter what your project requires, you’ll be able to set it up just right.

Generating Your 3D Object

After you've entered all your parameters, LITIO generates the 3D object for you. This saves so much time in the design process!
