In this week’s webinar Mark will be showing you ways in which to improve and be quicker when using Sheet Metal in SolidWorks. Since many industries require a wide range of sheet metal parts within their designs, SOLIDWORKS makes a flexible design approach possible. Whether you design with Metal paper or card the Sheet Metal toolset fives the flexibility of creating a flat pattern from the 3D model.
This webinar will be a perfect video to watch if you use thin materials. We even have customers design cardboard components using Sheet Metal inside SolidWorks.
The topics covered in this webinar will be:-
- Unfold to add perforations in the part for easy bending
- Preview the flat pattern in context of the 3D model
- Remove unwanted lines/edges in the DXF flat pattern
- Merge faces to remove tangent edges
- Change the grain direction to change the flat pattern view
- Remove faces from the flat pattern
- 3D corner trim to add corner cut outs in 3D/2D
- Normal cuts with optimized geometry
- Reorder of bends to follow assembly sequence
- Process bends to show the sequence of folds in drawing configurations
