Autodesk Inventor Sheet Metal Bend

A bend table is a table of bend deductions arranged in rows and columns.

Autodesk inventor sheet metal bend. Optionally on the shape tab specify one of the following to extend the bend. You need to convert the part to sheet metal first. Next move end of fold above bend part1. When unfolding if a bend radius or angle does not correspond to a specific entry a process interpolates between adjacent values in the table.

Add a bend to a sheet metal face on the ribbon click sheet metal tab create panel bend. Hi guys does anybody have a suggestion on how to create this bend using the sheet metal mode. And while there s nothing wrong with using the command that way you may be missing out on half of that commands full potential to create more complex designs faster and with fewer features. Sheet metal bend here s one way using the flange tool as yannickenrico suggested inventor 2015 part.

Use a flat pattern which is the shape of the sheet metal part before it is formed to create drawings for manufacturing. You may need to adjust the flange height depending on your design requirements. The flat pattern command is disabled in a multi body part file. Autodesk inventor supports bend order annotation on bend centerlines created when formed features are flattened as well as on cosmetic bend centerlines that are added manually.

Colored glyphs containing a sequence number indicate bend order on the flattened state of the model. Flat patterns show bend lines bend zones punch locations and the shape of the entire part with all bends flattened and bend factors considered. Each column specifies a bend radius. Make sure you set the thickness to 4mm since it is 4mm thick.

Select a model edge on each sheet metal face. If you re anything like me you ve probably used the sheet metal face command thousands of times to create simple extrusions to start your sheet metal parts. You can generate flat patterns by unfolding sheet metal features using a uniformly applied. The bend should be a certain radius on the top autodesk fusion360 header nav label product name.

By selecting edges on existing sheet metal features material is added to the model using the bend radius and material thickness defined by the sheet metal style. Use make components or make part to create a unique. Use fold command see attached image and select the same fold line as in bend part1 make sure you choose start of bend as fold location and change angle and radius accordingly.
