Intro to 3D software: How to create basic sheet metal features? When using 3D software for 3D design, it is often necessary to create sheet metal parts. So do you know how to use the sheet metal function in HaoChen 3D software? If you’re not sure, let’s take a look together at how basic sheet metal features are created in the HaoChen 3D software! 1. First, open the HaoChen 3D software, and then you can use the “Flat Plate”, “Contour Bending”, and “Sweep Bending” commands to create basic features. For example, the “Flat” command is used to create straight features of any shape using closed contours. As shown in the figure below: 2. The contour bend command is used to create features consisting of one or more bends and straight sections, using an open contour. As shown in the figure below: 3. The loft bend command is used to quickly create bends using two open contours on parallel reference planes. Like the “Outline Bend” command, the “Sweep Bend” command uses the bend radius attribute to automatically add bends. You don’t have to draw arcs at every bend. As shown in the figure below: 4. To use different bend radius values, this can be achieved by drawing arcs within the contour. As shown in the figure below: 5. The \"Bending Method\" tab in the \"Loft Bend\" dialog box is used to create incremental bends for all the bends of the bend. As shown in the figure below, the basic features of sheet metal in HyperCAD 3D include bending angles, louver patterns, reinforcement ribs, gussets, and so on. The basic operation methods are similar across these features. Everyone can apply what they learn from this 3D tutorial to similar situations.
