Hello

 

Is it possible to make these 2 folds at the same time?

 

Thank you

Yes, no problem. On the other hand, you have to make these folds in 2 times.

 

With 2 fold-on-edge functions and adjust the sketch on the 2

I must be doing it wrong but it doesn't work, I can't select the stroke of my sketch, it takes me to stop it completely.

You have to select this point, move it on the edge, then side it.

 

Or even trace your fold

in addition to @ Bart's answer

Why not make a fold and an elevation of the material afterwards?

-a fold function

- a material elevation function that allows you to adjust

The problem with removing material is that there is always a piece of the fold left...

 

Not great

At worst, send us your piece

yes GT22 I could do as you say, but I'm also looking for other ways of drawing that I don't know and Bart's is one of them, but thank you anyway for your answer.

It is true that on my side I do everything in volume and,

which I converted afterwards

I find + my bearings with this way of doing things

well done @ Bart

No, it all depends on how you remove your material.

In top view, you tell him to go to a vertex (the lower vertex of your rounding) and presto, there are more folds;)

 

In front view, you make a rectangle that includes the rounding, and the same observation.

 

On the other hand, in any case, you have to rework the folded/unfolded junction so as not to tear off during folding

I don't agree with you coincoin, you'll never get the same results with a "normal" removal of material.

 

The best solution is this one

On the other hand I will add a notch because the central part may not be straight

It all depends on the tools, if it's a big V, the line won't necessarily bend.

@Tomalan isn't entirely wrong 

Between Fab Reality and the Design Office (visual)

Not everything is necessarily good to take

abused use of tool changes it often blows up ;-))

Even with a capital V I have my doubts... It's still going to twist a little bit, right?

We have to see if this part is functional or not

you have to choose to be sure of your shot the blade with the right size (length of the fold)

so x blade to cut  at the price of the blade ;-((

not to mention the machine settings for the bender, so large series ;-))

My plans go directly to the workshop for production.

 

So I did some tests! :D

 

Yes not too much tool change, but when you have to, you have to^^

@Bart, I don't see the problem :s

As I said, you have to shrink the corner of the folded/not folded junction (a rounded, a hole, etc.) so as not to tear off. But otherwise, it makes you a clean and uncomplicated thing

Ha ba yes, if you leave some material overhanging too. I hadn't seen/understood that it was part of the selection criteria.

 

I know that to make two folds on the same sheet metal, the guys in my workshop will smash me if I do that. This forces them to position two planks with the right distance between the two + risk of bending the flat sheet between the two plies.

Or have a specific tool with clearance.

 

So, we do so, with a single large blade that takes the 2 folds in one go

 

Edit. Ho, and then I was answering you to your "the problem is that there is always a piece of crease left" ;-)

 

In short, so much for me
