Hello,
I can create a sheetmetal 200x5 helical/ spiral staircase stringer, and flatten it out, for laser cutting.
But, if i have a varible pitch, it wont flatten out, any ideas.
600 diameter, 3000 tall,
varible pitch 1000 to 3000,
from 200x5, 200 being vertical

Its actually for a sculpture, and also needs to taper from 200mm to 25mm at the top, but hey, just being able to flatten it would be good.
