What is the right way to do it? Making a bent sheet metal tank

SOLIDWORKS 2020

Hello

I have to make a very simple flower box, however, I feel like I'm not using the easiest way to do it.

For now, I'm tracing each sheet separately and then moving on to adjusting the corners with material removals. It's long and not super effective.

I managed to draw my tank in a few minutes using a welded construction profile but this method prevents me from recovering the unfolded states of my sheets.

How would you do it?

 

Thanks in advance

Benoit

I don't really understand how I could use this function?

I finally finished my baccalaureate, with my usual method, it took me +/- 1 hour of time.

There must be a simpler and faster way than mine

Hello

For me in 2 sheets with 2-3 functions per sheet according to the attached principle it is simpler.

Otherwise there is Sheet metal bent swept but the result obtained does not satisfy me.

Hello @sbadenis 

I love your animated GIFs and also the use of the Vés vouchers.
We see the pros ;-)

Kind regards
