Description

The SheetMetal workbench Bend tool creates a bend on the selected edge.

Usage

To add a Bend:

1. Switch to the SheetMetal Workbench.
2. Start with a base plate or sheet, select one or more edges to receive a bend.
3. Click on the Bend tool to add a bend.

Note: The workbench does not have a tool to create a base plate, so you need to start your model with one of the following methods:

• Method 1: Part Cube
• Method 2: An extruded solid made with Part Extrude from either a:

• Draft Rectangle or a
• Draft Wire or a
• Sketch
• Use Part Thickness to create shell (Typically with the thickness value of the sheet metal.)

• Method 3: PartDesign Body containing either an

• additive box or a
• PartDesign Pad made from a Sketch.
• Use PartDesign Thickness to create shell (Typically with the thickness value of the sheet metal.)

If you start with a PartDesign Body, you can mix Sheet Metal features with PartDesign features such as pockets or holes.
