Ruled Surfaces • Ruled surfaces are transitional surfaces • between two open or closed profiles • Between one open or closed profile and a point • There must be at least one straight line that connect any point on the one profile to the other profile or point • Planes and Cylindrical surfaces are a sub-set of ruled surfaces
At least 1 straight line to other profile Single curvature Not single curvature From any point on one profile
Use of Ruled Surfaces • By introducing free-form curves and varying the matching endpoints, designers can introduce dynamism to the product form • Straight ruled surfaces appears on many products formed by folding and bending sheet materials • Skilful combination of ruled surfaces can make a mathematically simple developable surface looks as dynamic as very complex surface
