Design


I make an solar concentrator dish mould but I confuse in how to calculate the focal length.for that I use the parabolic calculator to find out dish focal lenght

so in hat parabolic calculator I put the values of diameter of dish is 600mm and depth 90mm and said okay then the software gives us the focal lenght is 250mm


then I open the solid works i draw one circle with 600 mm diameter and and depth 90mm


then I revolve the part it makes dish


then I extrude this part


this dish is in 3d but I want to cut mould in laser cutter so I convert this file to 2d using 123d make software
