bending a flat object

Anonymous

Hi,

 

I am currently making a waterspouts harness for a university project. I have made the flat layers and i am looking to bend it, as if it was worn around someones waist. Any help would be great i have attached an image of what i am trying to do and what i have already. 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Jack

A solid object, if it was not designed with the sheet metal tools cannot be bent afterwards. 

If you want to show it in its bent form, you'll have to design it that way from the beginning.

 

However, this sheet metal thread might help you if that object only curves in one direction.
