Cpmvert Cylinder To Sheet Metal

Select keep body if you want to keep the solid body to use in another convert to sheet metal feature.

Cpmvert cylinder to sheet metal.

Here we have a solid body that i would like to convert into a sheet metal box then get the flat pattern to make it. When cleared the body is consumed by the convert to sheet metal feature. Insert bends is great for an imported model that didn t start out as sheet metal but has a constant thickness. Industrial metal supply co.

Bend radii and thicknesses are measured from the model and maintained making this one of the easiest ways to convert any design to a sheet metal part and get a flat pattern even if you don t have any flat faces at all. If you don t have the sheet metal tab open right click in the area where the 1 arrow points then click sheet metal. To develop the blank flat length for a cylinder rolled from sheet or plate is quite simple. Essentially you should calculate the centerline arc.

Essentially you should calculate the centerline arc. Select a face as the fixed face for the sheet metal part. Under sheet metal parameters. Outside diameter thickness x 3 1416 length of plate required inside diameter thickness x 3 1416 length of plate required.

Exercise 23 cylindrical sheet metal parts linear sketch patterns. Outside diameter thickness x 3 1416 length of plate required inside diameter thickness x 3. To develop the blank flat length for a cylinder rolled from sheet or plate is quite simple. Set the sheet thickness and default bend radius.
