Hello
I have a problem to get the unfolded attachment , I manage to draw it in sheet metal and unfold it with the sheet metal scan function but the press is not good.
I get a rectangle when I should have a rectangular and triangular part for the rounded top part.
SW doesn't know how to unfold on spherical
you have to go through the surface and flat tool
no other walkthrough

Hello@David_72
It's normal that it doesn't work because you can't get your coin in one piece. Indeed, your part as drawn is like stamping, which SW does not know how to handle.
The solution is to make two parts, one for the bottom cylinder and another for the quarter sphere. An alternative is to make a laser cut between the two parts, leaving 2mm so that the two parts remain at least united.
This also means that the two parts will have to be welded once the stamping has been completed.
Be careful because the development of a stamping can only be calculated with specialized software.
With solidworks your drawing will seem right, but only the shape after stamping will show the missing material that will have to be filled empirically by modifying the basic sketch by trial and error. Or you need some machining to have the right edges but it will be expensive and hello to hold the part.
Kind regards
@Zozo_mp in reality the part will be formed with a hammer, it is 30 x 40 mm.
For solid works it doesn't matter, we will draw it flat and do several tests of dimensions.
Thank you for your feedback.
