This paper describes a computer orientated method to transform any arbitary region of a curved surface from 3-D to a flattened form. The strategy is based upon a modification of the plane stress problem of the finite element method. Several applications are presented. One is a pattern shell which has traditionally been used by footwear pattern engineers and another is a flattened form for the corresponding airplane model.
