Designing sheet metal parts can be a complex process. Though an end product is designed fully formed and assembled, sheet metal parts actually begin as flat plates.

Getting that design manufactured into a physical part requires numerous considerations, such as material thickness, ben and corner relief, miter deformation and critical dimensions.

New computer-aided design and simulation tools make it possible to create sheet metal parts with the end manufacturing process in mind.

In this 18-page whitepaper, you will learn how to use Solid Edge Sheet Metal to:

• Use synchronous technology in Solid Edge to meet the challenges of sheet metal design
• Develop 3D sheet metal models with few or no commands
• Re-use supplier and legacy 3D designs
• Perform built-in design validation
• Leverage multiple meshes simultaneously to optimize simulation speed and accuracy
• Generate study reports, including animations, for design reviews and marketing materials
