Onshape Sheet Metal Model

Well there s a reason why today your coffee is tasting especially good why your underwear seems to fit a little better and why you don t have to pretend onshape has sheet metal tools anymore because now they do.

Onshape sheet metal model.

Create a sheet metal model by enclosing existing parts. Sheet metal model create sheet metal. It almost sucked me into a rabbit hole but my objective was drawing a driver not experimenting with cool new features. However for all its versatility it is usually confined to the very mundane task of providing the world with cases covers and brackets.

I have created a variable of etch thickness 0 022 that my sheet metal model uses over and over to extrude parts thickness of etch thickness of sheet metal model. Everything from the creation of the sheet metal part to exporting the flat pattern will be covered. Sheet metal is lightweight inexpensive and easily formed into almost any shape. This tool closes deactivates the sheet metal model and causes the sheet metal part to be treated like any non sheet metal solid part.

I can t use a flange as it s 0 degree and same for mbartlett21 great shaped flange tool. Onshape also provides a sheet metal table listing bends and rips where you are able to edit corner radii and joint types as well as create a drawing of the sheet metal part. About it i really need the angle to be in the sheet metal version so that when i export a flatten version of the sheet metal model it will have the right length of the flanges. I ve modeled a new bookend to experiment with but i cannot get the middle tab to form properly.

This allows you to perform post fabrication operations on it such as drilling at an angle through a face welding corners and adding form features and custom featurescript features. They re out at the pacific design and manufacturing show where they re previewing. So i parked it until this evening which i seem to be spending babysitting the cricut as it makes christmas crafts for the girl. Trying to achieve a sheet metal model feature that can be boiled down to something like a bookend.

In this webinar we took a look at all the tools onshape has for designing with sheet metal. Welcome to the onshape forum ask questions and join in the discussions about everything onshape. I am working on a sheet metal model and am extruding various parts but i have stumbled upon a problem with an extrude on a flange.
