In this paper, we consider Frenet type framed base curves that may have singular points and define one-parameter developable surfaces associated with such curves. By using the singularity theory, we classify the generic singularities of the developable surfaces, which are cuspidal edges and swallowtails. In order to characterize these singularities, two geometric invariants are discovered. At last, an example is given to demonstrate the main results.
