Sheet Metal: Perforated Relief Cuts

Sheet Metal: Perforated Relief Cuts

Fusion 360, like most CAM that has a Sheet Metal module, does a good job of adding certain types of relief cuts.  But for some of the parts that we design, we take a different approach where we add slot-shaped relief cuts along lines that will be bent into place by hand, with pliers. I've attached a couple examples.

 

As it stands, we have to generate a laser-cut file, then unfold the part and manually add slot-shaped relief cuts to make this happen.

 

I'd love to be able to give Fusion some inputs for slot width, minimum material length between slots, number of slots etc. (like tabs in the CAM workspace), and have these automatically generate along selected fold lines.
