In mathematics, a developable surface is a surface with zero Gaussian curvature. That is, it is surface that can be flattened onto a plane without distortion (i.e. stretching, compressing, tearing). Inversely, it is a surface that can be made by transforming a plane (i.e. folding, bending, rolling, cutting, and gluing).
