Zoli Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Hello, I modelised in SOLID the first part; I can’t make it in Sheet metal. After I converted it in Sheet metal but sure, I can’t flatten it (to put flat). So, what is the way for a good end a quickly technique for this kind of model in Sheet metal (pyramid-second image, cone, transition part between a circle and a rectangle…etc)? Can someone help me please? Thanks in advance! Quote
JD Mather Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 You do not have any bends. You need to loft surface body with bends and then Thicken or User Inventor 2010 or later which has a tool to make parts like this. Quote
Zoli Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 Hello Mr. Mather, thanks for your help, unfortunatly I can't make it flat! I tried to model the part with bends too (see attached image), but it dosen't work. Can you help me please with an exemple (model)? Maybe I'll understand finally...
