Filling gap between 2 components

I know there is ongoing discussion into sheetmetal with fusion so in the short term i have used the following workaround to generate folded sheet metal parts for my project.

 

Now this isnt to much of an issue in the sketch as laser cutting is 2D not 3D but when rendering my solution leaves a gap that i would really like to fill.

 

My workaround is to extrude the part then split it into bodies and then components but this leaves a section where the material would be stretched in real life missing. So is there an easy way to fill the missing section as seen in the picture below.

 

I have included the archive file if some one wants to try

 

Many thanks

 

Graeme

Anyone? its not critical but the OCD in me really dislikes the missing material

I think I may have made the inside bend radius too large in the below video; however, you may be able to use the Patch Environment tools to get some surfaces in place and stitched together, add fillets, and thicken last. This could give you an approximate sheet metal part. I made a Screencast to show how I did this, below.

 

 

 

Take a look and let me know if this helps or if you have any questions.

 

Thanks,

Cool, will have a try and see what i get. Im new to 3D so not used to all the different ways of making components but that looks really easy
