Bending a cylinder

3D Design Sheet Metal / Machine Welded
1

Hi all

New on the forum, I'm asking for your help.

I would like to draw a metal box as we make it.

To do this, I would like to draw a cylinder (so far nothing complicated) and "squirt" the folded edges on 90° (see below).

I manage to make my cylinder in sheet metal but I am unable to make my falls off the edge.

Does anyone have a method to teach me?

 

Thanks in advance!

See this tutorial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dUOORTFlcNI

and go to the 14th minute of reading

he explains a way of proceeding

otherwise via the surface and the flattening tool

Watch this video

What I do now systematically is much simpler for my taste

for nothing since it was impossible ;-(

Hello

Draw the sketch of the half cylinder, then make a revolution function.

Kind regards.

@blemanac, the part you attached is not foldable with the sheet metal function like in my tutorial or my attachment

First of all, thank you all for your answers.

Then, I would like to make my edge fall using a specific function without having to do it directly on the base sketch...

But given your answers, I don't think it's possible (unless I misunderstood).

Hello

Today, this is the only way to have it in a fold-out way.

Hello

I confirm the words of @ac cobra 427 (whom I salute) I have never seen such a feature because there are very few features that work without a sketch. This exists for global deformations such as moving a face, making a bulge, making different bends on a complete part.
In surface analysis, however, this also involves a lot of sketches.
Even stampings use a tool made from sketches.

But as soon as you want to obtain a precise shape in hundredths of a mm, it is done through sketches.
This is the very basis of parametric  software :-)

Okay I understand

I'll try like this then:)

Thank you all!
