Creating Sheet Metal Parts from Solid Parts by Adding Cut Lines in Sketches

This section explains how to use lines drawn in a sketch as cut lines to create sheet metal parts from solid parts.

By utilizing the lines drawn in the sketch, you can easily create sheet metal parts with cut lines along all four edges, as shown in the example below.









↓

Procedure:

[1] Create solid model.

[2] Create a sketch line at the division point.

[3] Click [Solid part to Sheetmetal part] in the [Sheet Metal] tab.

[4] Configure the properties.



Face Selection: Select the face corresponding to the stock surface.

Bend Edges Selection: Select all the areas to be bent.　※ Bleu edges
Please refer to the video for the selection order.

Cut: Select the sketch created in [2].

[5] Click [OK].

Please refer to the video below.
