My newest adventure in designing is TDRS-M. This image is actually from a pervious generation, but it'll suffice. You can see from this image that there are three dish antennas. Each has a lattice structure. Flattening these "cones" is relatively simple. And for the sake of the unfamiliar, I'll direct you to this wonderful site (Juex Et Mathematiqueswhich helps a great deal in calculating a flattened cone!
The problem comes to adding the details. How does one plan the flattening of the lattice so that it "connects" when the edges of the cone (annulus) are brought together?
