Sheet metal bent in the shape of a propeller

There is no problem, there are only solutions!! +1 shape tool, just create the shape you want and save it in .sldftp format.

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

Here's a word


pd_emboutissage.doc

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?

Testing

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..  

I'm on SolidWorks 2018.
