The 3D Sheetmetal Maker is a user-friendly web application  that offers parametric associative sheet metal design tools for  making enclosures, assemblies, and parts.  

Quickly releasing sheet metal components to the market is  made possible by its dedicated, all-in-one 3D sheet metal design  environment, which streamlines the development, storage, sharing,  validation, and management of designs.  

3D Sheetmetal Maker is based on the 3DEXPERIENCEWorks cloud platform, providing seamless integration across design to manufacturing portfolios. It includes tools for data management and collaboration, ensuring efficient workflows and secure storage. All design data is safely kept in one location.

STEP 1

Select your file location, create a new component with a fresh  interface, and begin designing.

STEP 2

Importing Cad Files: You may start working on your current  CAD files right away with Xapps by importing them as Neutral  Files. This allows you to rebuild and remove components as  well as add new features to the previous CAD file. Additionally,  choose the file location after your project. 

STEP 3

Making Sheet Metal: Begin by creating your design in  Simple Sketch, and then begin building miter flanges, edge  flanges, hem bends, and other shapes using the sheet metal  feature. Select the Relief type and use the sheet metal  specifications to calculate the K factor.

STEP 4

Creating a wall on edges: This will let you to construct  flanges at the edges, offering additional features such as  wall offset, bend option, and geometry modification. You  can adjust the K factor and offset the bends from the edges  

if you like to change the flanges using this option.  Additionally, you can change the flanges’ geometry.
