Flat Pattern of Fan Blade
Flat Pattern of Fan Blade
(OP)
I am trying to figure out the flat pattern of the blade for the following fan. I have been successful in creating the solid model, but I cannot figure out how to make the blade into sheet metal. I have tried several methods and the closest I got was making the blade out of a surface (using multiple trim features), and then thickening the blade. I should be able to make the blade from two bends. No matter what I try I cannot get the bottom portion of the blade to bend properly. Can you guys offer any suggestions on how to do this correctly?

You will need to somehow make a "normal" cut across the fin.
