Bend Notches You can create notches across bends in flattened sheet metal parts. In manufacturing, bend notches help manufacturers determine where to put the press brake. You can use notch features on all bends so the bending operator can then use them to line up the bend with the tooling. ...

You can flatten the bends in a sheet metal part in the following ways: To flatten the entire part, if the Flat-Pattern1 feature is present, unsuppress Flat-Pattern1, or click Flatten on the Sheet Metal toolbar. The bend lines are shown by default when you unsuppress Flat-Pattern1. To...

In SOLIDWORKS there are several options for Sheet Metal Bend Allowance Calculations. These calculations will determine the length of the flattened pattern shape. Three of the most commonly used options are using a K-Factor value, a Bend Allowance value, or a Bend Deduction value. Here are the ...
5. Implementing Bend Tables and Bend Allowance: Bend tables and bend allowance are crucial factors in sheet metal design. Bend tables provide essential information about the bending radius, bend angle, and setback for specific sheet metal materials. SolidWorks allows users to import and define custom...
In SOLIDWORKS, a Sheet Metal Sketched Bend is a method of adding a bend to a sheet metal part relative to a line in a special sketch. See a demo here.
Today we are going to decide which is the better tool to use when adding flanges to a sheet metal part: Sketch Bend vs Edge Flange. Sketch Bend and Edge Flange are two very different tools that produce similar results. Why do they exist if they do the same thing? They exist because ...
An offshore vendor has converted a large batch of our old drawings to Solidworks models and drawings. They have linked the bend angles on the model to the drawing but I can't figure a "streamlined" way to do this. On our drawings, the bend is described like this: "Be...
I have tried both side of the sheet metal as well as "View Bend Lines" from the "Hide All Types" (eyeball) pull down. The had geometry like lines, circles, arc etc.. work just fine. All of a sudden, my Open in SOLIDWORKS User Forum to read and respond to complete thread...
