Hello
I have a mesh with superimposed and welded wires well a mesh what lol
This lattice is cut out in the corners and I'd like to bend it.
I know how to bend a sheet metal, stamping a solid but bending a mesh I dry.
Do you have an idea?
Thank you
Hello
I think it's not possible to bend a piece like that.
The easiest way is to make a sheet metal with an appearance! See these links:

Draw it with 3D sketches and the welded construction tool.
But the problem is to unfold it.
It would be necessary to make the sketch flat to the bone....
Hello
What is the purpose of the question? What do you want to know?
The goal? Have a 3D of the part unfolded and folded, we change the unfolded and it changes the folded.

Okay, in this case you can use the bending function proposed by @thomas.guillard.
Next, create 2 configurations to enable or disable bending (bending) functions.
You will have 2 models, folded and unfolded ;)!
[EDIT] For my part, I'm stuck on the realization....

Hello
Try to convert your part to sheet metal with the convert to sheet metal tool .
Then make your folds with a sketch line. On the side as you see fit and that's it.
Hoping to help you.
Yours sincerely and good luck.
Hello
In the image you published, you have a folded version, there you just have to use the "insert folds" function and there your piece will unfold
Because the convert to sheet metal function transforms the part into sheet metal but does not recognize them while inserting folds recognizes the folds. It works great for the ferrules that we receive in WWTP...
