Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum but I've been following you for a while since I've always been interested in your topics.
I have read the various arguments but I have seen little about the metal sheet so I immediately propose a question of my interest.
I want to reproduce the attached component with the sheet mode and the relevant tools.
I tried on my own but the two curves at 90 degrees don't let me do them as I don't go bending a flat surface.
necessary condition is that the total length of the flat sheet is editable as by standard sheet.

thanks to all

Well, you said you wanted to use sheet metal tools; and then do it, so for example (it is only one of the many systems):View attachment Copia di Calandra.raris your starting sketch modeled simply and immediately with only sheet commands.

However model it as you like, but you can't expect the folds to have the same internal and external radius as you set in your solid model... It is physically impossible, clearly that the program cannot solve it.

do the tutorials about it present in the program and follow the online guide, it is all explained step by step.

hi sampom, I thank you infinitely for the model you made. I see that in the feature manager you used basic bending while I can only with the sketch.
the fact is that I would like to be able to change the measures to my liking starting from the flattened.
I realize I'm new, so I'm wondering if by chance you can tell me some tutorials on youtube also in English.

Thanks again

Have you already done the swx tutorials?
