SolidWorks sheet metal modeling remains the top choice for design engineers and fabricators for its features and functionalities. Here are the top five tips you can use to efficiently model sheet metal parts in SolidWorks.
Sheet metal fabrication needs a constant check to ensure that the manufacturing is as per the actual design briefs shared. Fabrication processes like bending, welding, and punching, if carried out without proper design intent understanding, increases scrap and rework.
To enhance overall fabrication efficiency, designers and fabricators have adopted 3D sheet metal modeling as a primary platform for design communication. 3D CAD tools address design complexity by breaking down the assembly into part drawings and sub-assemblies. Modern 3D parametric CAD platforms further optimize the design concepts and create production-ready designs.
