Hi all,
I was wondering if someone could assist me with a sheet metal problem.
I need to produce a plate from 5mm steel, which is bent in several places, but the plate is not rectengular.
I've built the desired result purely as a solid, and then converted to sheet metal, when i do this the flat pattern has a warped edge.
I've also tried building from a flat sheet metal part and bending, but when I do this the bent model now has a warped edge.
I'm wondering if it is possible to get away from this as it looks untidy, and I also have a client drawing which does not show a warped edge (not sure which cad program was used to draw this, however).
Sorry if my explanation doesn't make any sense, i've included some screenshots to try and explain better.
