Sheet Metal

Hi, Is it possible to convert the flattened sheet metal pattern into a new solid part? I've use the feature to create the net of a shape for a fan duct, and I want to be able to 3D print the result (at .6mm thick) and fold it up. However I'd like to add a couple off internal tabs for alignment which would be printed in…

Hello, I want to move on this part of the two open edges so far that the tips meet on the outside. These are abraded after laser cutting so that the seam can be welded without adding material. Is there a way to cancel or ignore the collision to produce the part despite "error"?…

I use the tab feature every so often, I usually draw a sketch attached to a sheet metal part and then click the tab feature to turn that sketch into an extension of my sheet metal part. For some reason in my model im currently working on the tab will not generate and I dont know why If someone can help me understand what I…

Anyone know how to do a pattern on sheet metal that is not a flange, its a roll or some other form? I understand how to do a pattern on a solid and extrude it but, how about doing the same on sheet metal?The extrusion needs to done on the flat surface not on a sold. Here is an example

Hello,how do you design sheet metal parts?Do you choose the radius of the punch or do you go to the internal bending radius of the die from the press force table? Our standard stamps have a radius of 0.6mm. Greetings Hobie Translated with Google

Hi, I needed a hand creating a sheet metal part. It is going to have three faces welded together, but I can't get the initial geometry correct. Essentially, I need a rectange with a chamfer that follows a curve and tapers towards the top on the corner. The top depth is less than the bottom. I believe I need the loft…

Bends in flat sheet metal work great but what about bends where a rolled section transitions to a flat section? I can't seem to make that work.

I would like to filter my edges (from qEverything) to be of a certain SheetMetalDefinitionEntityType, so i can pass them into sheetMetalCornerBreak without it erroring out. Is there any way to do this?

Hello, why can not I change the links in the view of the flat part.The list is not displayed to me. I want to convert all 4 open edges into seams. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/4fb52b1f1060526730fa9864/w/1b4ef834c4083f079a0d5de5/e/4da6adbd23923db8f7093a94 Gruß Hobie

Hello, is there a way to work bending with bending allowance and bending deduction instead of using K Factor? We have bending tables for all tools, materials and sheet thicknesses. So it can be bent to 0.1mm tolerance. With the K factor, this is only an approximation and more suitable for locksmiths. Google is responsible…

Hello, is there an automatic function to make a free cut for holes that are too close to the bending edge? Once constructed an example. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/17763e1bca9abe8f571334e7/w/4e6c4b1da9827dde10ae8531/e/209f66484bca7a61ca701914

I mirrored my sheet model but I want it to create a new entity because they are not cut in the same sheet metal. One is for the left side and the other for the side so some bends are not the same. Is there a way for the mirrored part to become its own sheet metal model?

My sheet metal flat view is reversed from my isometric view. The Axis Icon in the flat view is reversed from the Axis Icon in the drawing area of the Parts Studio. And when I bring it in to a drawing it is reversed. It looks like it would still bend properly if we are willing to put up with all bends shown as "Down". My…

So I'm working my way through the sheet metal help, and videos and thought while I did I would post my problem up here. I've not worked with sheet metal models in any cad package and need a simple part which has a bit in the middle bent up. This is the desired shape (sans bends):…

Having some trouble creating a sheet metal model for my part. I realize some features won't be possible so I excluded the faces of them. Model is here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a71bc4365dae58b5c767636e/w/d7917624a78333e84709a4ea/e/262b54fa3622521777020b6d

I am designing a box and I am using the sheet metal function. Project / file can be found here. Now I want to increase the sheet metal thickness. However, when I edit the sheet metal model the green tick to confirm my changes is inactive/not clickable. See attached screenshot. In another sheet metal model it did work as I…

I am trying to convert a sweep feature to a sheetmetal part. Has anyone tried this? I keep getting sheetmetal failed errors.

Hello, is it possible to dimension a bending part in the 3d view and print out this area? How do I measure 11.22 in the drawing?Do I have to make a second sketch which I put over the bending part and transfer the line from the second sketch back to the first sketch? So I have a guide for the dimensioning? Is not that…
