Help for the production of a sheet metal

Hello

This is my first message, thank you in advance for apologizing if I don't yet respect all the codes of the forum, and don't hesitate to guide me if necessary.

I was asked to make a part in 1.5 thick steel sheet metal

mm (see plan).

I need to weld a sheet of metal bent at 135° along the curve connecting plate A and plate B, in order to create edge C.

I don't really know how to do it, or even if it's a clean operation in this case.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions and feedback.

Hello and welcome,
I don't think SW can do an exact sheet metal press.
Not against it, it will be possible to draw via the smoothing function

Hello, technically it's possible to do a development by going through the surface and then flattening the surface (function accessible with the premium version), I'm not saying that it will be easy to implement in the workshop...

Maybe with a forming tool it is also possible, but by folding :thinking:

There is also the transition fold, but I have trouble understanding the final piece :sweat_smile:

A transition fold can be made on the 2 folds that we join are // @FRED78 .
Otherwise it's a warped surface.

And here the 2 folds are not //

This can be done by stamping, hammering or English wheel.
On the other hand, for the approximate development - so to be adjusted during assembly - the @Scofield1 solution is OK, with overlengths.
A good " old-fashioned " boilermaker would do that for you without any problem.
