Unfolded elbow

3D Design Volume Model

Hi all.

After an unsuccessful search on the site I ask you the question is it possible to transform an elbow into sheet metal finally to be able to unfold it.

In fact I made a cut in an elbow and I would like to be able to make a pattern so that the line can be made, in real life.

See attached file.

Thank you in advance.

@gt22 that's what I thought.

Solidworks does not unfold a curve. It unfolds only curves.

 

For this you have "Logopress" which in combination with soliworks allows you to go further in sheet metal bending.

Possible with SolidWorks 2015 Premium

There is a new surface flattening function. (The quality of the results is to be tested!)

See attached image of the result

There is also a possibility with the product from Logopress

@ ACO there you surprise me at least SolidWorks 2015

The fact is that we have to check the validity of the thing

From this unfolded to make a hello elbow

Hello

To complement what @Bart says, there is a 14-day trial version of Logopress that can be found here:

@ Benoit thank you for the link

that's what we call Craftsmanship with a capital A

but today it's over or for museum pieces

or some prototypes but the synthetic has taken over now

No more super sheet metal boilermakers

it's like all the time it's money

and time is very expensive in our time

It's lost nowadays, but crafting must remain a basic pillar!

 

First learn by hand before using sophisticated tools.

 

Before using CAD software, make pure tests with T, squares, etc...

Exploded view at the Rotring and so on.

 

The same goes for wood or metal. Knowing how to work with your hands without a machine is important!

 

When you see what our ancestors managed to do just with a hatchet and a pencil, it makes you think about our manual abilities....

Well yes why?

 

I'm not 12 years old:p

 

Basically, I make copies of antique furniture. So I know the drafts! ^^

Oh, I'm older than you (not by much !! :) ) and rotrings were already a memory of the old ones when I started working in BE machines spec a little over 10 years ago!

We didn't have the same journey. =)

 

I studied art, so rotring was de rigueur!

 

In my school, there were no computers. Everything was done by hand except for some machining which was done with machines from another time =)

 

Nothing beats manual work! ;)

 

Gt22, it slams your rotrings!! Will you give them to me? :p
