Sheet Bending Drawing

The width of this flange.

Sheet bending drawing. To view the bend choose view 3d. Sheet metal fabrication is the process of forming parts from a metal sheet by punching cutting stamping and bending. Show the model notes. In the featuremanager design tree expand drawing view to show the flat pattern feature.

Select the straight line and in the line type drop list select bend. During bending operation the metal on the inner side of the neutral plane is compressed and the metal on the outer side of the neutral plane is stretched. Edge bending is used to eliminate sharp edges to provide geometric surfaces for purposes such as joining to protect the part to increase stiffness and for cosmetic appearance. The sheet will bend against the radius of the edge of the wipe die.

Bending is one of the most common sheet metal fabrication operations. Bend location a bend should be located where enough material is present and preferably with straight edges for the sheet to be secured without slipping. Green color move your note als you wish use mouse just a tip. 3d cad files are converted into machine code which controls a machine to precisely cut and form the sheets into the final part.

A customer had recently called in looking for a way to show his bend lines on the drawing of his sheet metal parts and while some people may say the answer is simple there are several ways to get the bend lines to show or not show in your drawing. Also known as press braking flanging die bending folding and edging this method is used to deform a material to an angular shape. Draw a 2d shape. Expand the flat pattern feature right click bend lines and select show or hide.

Hiding the bend lines also hides the sheet metal bend notes. These sections are located at the edges. Draw a straight line where you want the bend. Set desired drawing model active.

Bend sheet metal to create highly functional parts at low cost e g. Select the outermost lines and in the z control set the thickness. Edge bending operations are commonly used in industrial sheet metal processing and involve bending a section of the metal that is small relative to the part. The force must exceed the material s yield strength to achieve a plastic deformation.

Right up command search. If you are looking for some functionality icon try following. Sheet bending sheet bending is defined as the straining of the metal around a straight axis.
