If i understand correctly you want to roll a metal plate into a cylinder of outside diameter 2010 mm.

Roll sheet metal into cylinder.

π d π 2010 6314 6 mm. Solidworks convert to sheet metal cylinder. To develop the blank flat length for a cylinder rolled from sheet or plate is quite simple. Steel plate rolling to custom cylinder with holes punched sleeve shell.

The perimeter or circumference of a circle is π d where d id the diameter and hence the circumference of your cylinder is. Our cold rolled products are typically under 0 250 in thickness depending on the material type and length of the cylinder. When sheet metal is inserted between two such rolls the urethane wraps the sheet metal tightly against the steel roll. Outside diameter thickness x 3 1416 length of plate required inside diameter thickness x 3.

Thus if you take a sheet of metal 6314 6 mm long and roll it into a cylinder the cylinder will have outside diameter of 2010 mm. A segment of this top roll is pushed into the urethane bottom roll and this deflecting volume of urethane functions the same as hydraulic fluid in a hydroforming process exerting very high pressures against the steel roll. Metal rolling methods cold rolling is primarily used to create tubes out of sheets strips plates and rods. Essentially you should calculate the centerline arc.

This tutorial shows how to convert cylindrical hollow solid part to sheet metal cylinder. Plate rolling and sheet metal rolling.
