SOLIDWORKS Tips & Tricks - Sheet Metal
This webcast explores advanced SOLIDWORKS sheet metal functionality and tips. It covers storing sheet metal-specific material properties, including gauge tables and bend allowances, and demonstrates converting solids and surfaces into sheet metal using the Convert to Sheet Metal tool. Multi-body sheet metal techniques are shown, including merging flanges with edge flanges and adding welds via fillet weld beads or annotations. The session explains creating detailed drawings with cut lists, weld tables, and flat pattern views, as well as using auto-dimensioning for efficiency. Finally, it highlights exporting DXF/DWG files for manufacturing, enabling streamlined workflows from design to production.
