BENDING LINES TO THE VISIBLE CONVERSION CONEĬone-shaped Sheet Metal parts are traditionally always modelled in SolidWorks using the ‘Lofted Bends’ feature. Users will certainly often have an accurate picture of what a sheet metal model should look like but designing it can sometimes raise questions.īelow are a few modelling techniques for Sheet Metal parts.ġ. For many SolidWorks users, designing sheet metal models is commonplace.
