Bend Metal Sheet Solidworks

However in some circumstances when the design requires certain types of geometry you can use non sheet metal feature tools then insert bends or convert the part to sheet metal.

Bend metal sheet solidworks.

In this tutorials you will learn how to utilize sheetmetal tool such insert bend and flaten. Click a bend position of bend centerline material inside material outside or bend outside. We will learn sheet metal basic features like base flange edge flange sketched bend and extruded cut in solidworks sheet metal. Converting a shelled solid body to a sheet metal part.

You might also like. The options and values you specify for bend radius bend allowance and auto relief are shown as the default settings for the next new sheet metal part that you create. Use line sketch l shape dimension sketch with smart dimension as 1in x 1in. Set a value for bend angle and click reverse direction if necessary.

It is possible to create a solid part then convert it to sheet metal to add the bends and sheet metal features. Parts with conical faces can also be made of sheet metal. When you click insert bends on the sheet metal. Creating sheet metal parts with conical faces.

There are specific sheet metal features you can use to create sheet metal bodies quickly. A bent sheet metal part is created whose dimensions in the flattened state reflect the specified bend allowance and radius values. Click sketched bend on the sheet metal toolbar or click insert sheet metal sketched bend. Set the sheet thickness and default bend radius.

Click front plane and click on sketch. When cleared the body is consumed by the convert to sheet metal feature. In the graphics area select a face that does not move as a result of the bend for fixed face. Under sheet metal parameters.
