Maybe You Can, Maybe You Can't

Hi

I have a project where i have drawn a handrail using the sweep function. the sweep function uses a profile and a projected curve, now the hard bit, can i transform or "Flatten" this shape some how so i detail out a drawing, so a person can take a straight piece of steel and begin to bend/shape it.

I attached the part file to this post below.

Any help or advise would be great.

Thanks in advance.
