CATI's monthly contribution to the SolidWorks Blog was posted this week. This month I chose to write about how to flatten complex sheet metal parts with SolidWorks Lofted Bends. The article is based upon a some common questions that we get from customers. The article has two detailed examples of how we can build a model and then use the edges of that part to create the profiles needed to create a Lofted Bend in sheet metal and ultimately be able to flatten the part for manufacturing.
Example 1 is a helix shaped part.
Example 2 is how to create a part generated with the SolidWorks Wrap tool.
