Knowledge of development is very useful in sheet metal work , construction of storage vessels , chemical vessels , boilers , and chimneys. Such vessels are manufactured from plates that are cut according to these developments and then properly bend into desired shaped. The joints are then
Boilers^ welded or riveted.

Triangulation development
Approximate development
It is used for developing transition pieces. Transition pieces are usually made to connect two different forms, such as round pipes to square pipes. These transition pieces will usually fit the definition of a non developable surface that must be developed by an approximation. This is done by assuming the surface to be made from a series of triangular surfaces laid side-by-side to form the development. This form of development is known as Triangulation
It is employed for double curved surfaces like Spheres , as they are theoretically not possible to develop. The surface of the sphere is developed by approximate method. When the surface is cut by a series of cutting planes, the cut surfaces is called a zone.
