Full Version: Sheet metal in V4

Hi Marco,

In attached is an image showing what i was trying to say.

The idea is to use the Edge selected and translated it to a new position.

I think this might mimic (emphasis on mimic) the sheet metal allowence.

In sheet metal (simgle piece) the thickness and bend allowence is constant, so the user has to figure it out once.

Cheers

Carlos

There is one ultimate guide about press brake, it mentioned everything about press brake as well as the bending operation, hope it can be helpful for you. Here is it: https://machinemfg.com/press-brake-ultimate-guide/

I believe the ultimate guide to press brake will interest you guys since you care about sheet metal bending. https://machinemfg.com/press-brake-ultimate-guide/

hi

Here an example of my sheet metal workflow for parametrics parts

The workfloor is :

1 - Simple 2D part's drawing . ( complex part's can be import from SOLVESPACE )
2 - Part's extrusion
3 - Part's 3D connection/assembly with junctions .
4 - Final boolean union
5 - Layout with Make2D4Views function
6 - 3D part's export in STEP , SKP ...
7 - Layout export in PDF

i hope it could help you
have a nice day

Chri

@Chri!
Hello
The SVG (2d) format of the free Solvespace is compatible to the not so "rustic" free TinkerCad!
Just import inside Tinkercad a SVG file!
