Objectives:
- Create 3D sheet metal parts from legacy DXF or DWG™ flat layout geometry.
You can take advantage of using legacy flat pattern geometry that was originally created in another application to build a fully parametric 3D model of a sheet metal component. Sheet metal shops usually have many legacy flat pattern layouts that are proven on their equipment. Taking advantage of this data by converting it into usable 3D models for use in other designs or downstream applications adds value to your design process.
By refering to the video uploaded, use 2D geometry in DXF file and import into Inventor, the 2D data was used to build a 3D sheet metal part. This follows by using Project Geometry to project the bend line and fold the sheet metal accordingly with the desire angle. Please refer to the video link below for more details.
