The aim of this work is to investigate sweeping surfaces and their local singularities due to type-3 Bishop frames in Euclidean 3-space, E3. A sweeping surface a is surface that is designed from a section curve positioned along a path, which acts as the vertebral column or spine curve, and it has symmetrical characteristics. In this work, we have specified a sweeping surface and have examined its geometry and singularity. Thereafter, we deduced the circumstances required for this surface to be a developable surface. In great detail, we concentrated on the fundamental discussion on whether the resulting developable surface is a cylindrical, cone or tangent surface. Meanwhile, examples are detailed to explain the applications of the notional outcomes.
