Sheet Metal Curve Bending

Hello everybody,

Is it possible to produce this kind of bending and unfold in Inventor ?

You would be better off to attach you file here. My guess is that you need to use surface and then add thickness to it.

Hi Calvin;

I hate to say no, but I have to. What you are after is a case of a plastic deformation. You could mimic the item in the Inventor sheet metal module, but it will be just that - mimicking. And no, there is no need to send the actual file. The picture of what you are after explains it well.

Cheers,

Igor.

Contour roll on itself unfolds but you have a deformed shape. Inventor can't handle pressed, punched deformed shapes. Don't know what your manufacturing capabilities are but this is how I would do it.

 

Check attached.

Hi Salariua,

You can do it this way but still this is not the thing I am looking for. What do you mean by a deformed shape ? Isn't that a normal bend on sheet metal ?

That's not a bend. What tool would you use and how would you mount it on a press bending machine?
