D-Form - a new vocabulary of objects
I am not a mathematician.
However, I am interested in developable surfaces.

D-Form - a new vocabulary of objects
A developable surface is:
— a surface that can be flattened onto a plane
without distortion (i.e. stretching or tearing)

D-Form - a new vocabulary of objects
A D-Form is:
— A pair of flat surfaces of equal perimeter
— Joined together to create a 3D form
— A three dimensional equation
