There is no problem, there are only solutions!! +1 shape tool, just create the shape you want and save it in .sldftp format.
Hello
Yes it exists, look at page 5 I had put you an image of the stamping function, there is the tool by transparing and the stamped plate.
Here is your form tool so you can handle the problem now

Thank you GT22
I created a split washer, inserted and then positioned your tool, but when I validate the stamping is not done and my shaft is red..?
Have you registered my part as a stamped shape tool part
Watch the video posted previously

yes I saved it as a shape tool
no pb for the isertion in my part
can you show via a screen the defs of the stamping function (creation tree)
the faces taken into account etc
you can't insert an image on the com feed it's + simple and smoothable
you need the part but also the settings on the function so open the function and show us it please

try to make your washer bigger so that it can look for the basic support which I think should be the bottom view of the shape tool
(the placement face)
and select the faces to delete maybe?

Hi all
create two propellers offset by the desired width of your sheet,
then convert these two helices into a 3D sketch and then go into sheet metal, make transition folds, put the desired and validated thickness.
You have a beautiful helical sheet that you can unfold with its development...
There you go..
