The best part is that 3D Sheet Metal Creator offers engineers and designers a complete workflow to create.

This role offers a comprehensive toolset specific to sheet metal design for press brake manufactured components, assemblies, and enclosures. Here is the finished file version for your reference. 3D Sheet Metal Creator was introduced back in July of 2020 with the release of 2021x FD01. Here you can change it to adjust it so your flat pattern matches you real world part. If you right click on the Sheet-Metal feature you will find K-Factor.

To flatten the part either unsuppress the Flat Pattern feature or click Flatten. Notice the three features added Sheet-Metal, Convert and Flat Pattern (suppressed). These will be the bend locations, the part must end up as one piece of metal so work your way from the fixed face out.Ģ SolidWorks will pick the rip edges for you by process of elimination.ģ When all edges have been added to the two groups hit the green check. Later you can change each individual bend radius to what ever you want.ġ. enter a default inside radius for the bends. Learn how to convert a solid cone into sheet metal, and pattern a cut feature along a curve driven pattern at the flat pattern level.For more information abo.

pick the a face that will be fixed plane of the flattened sheetĥ. If you don’t have the sheet metal tab open right click in the area where the #1 arrow points, then click Sheet Metal.ģ. Here we have a solid body that I would like to convert into a sheet metal box then get the flat pattern to make it.ġ. Remeber to click "It Worked" if you like it, if you didnt let me know how to improve it.
