SheetMetal is a role-based application on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform designed specifically for sheet metal design. It provides powerful, intuitive tools for creating, editing, and validating sheet metal parts, primarily for manufacturing and fabrication purposes. It runs entirely in the cloud, so there's no installation required, and it integrates smoothly with other roles like xDesign and xShape
Key Features of xSheetMetal:
Parametric Sheet Metal Design
Unfolding & Flat Pattern Generation.
Manufacturing Preparation
Integration with 3DEXPERIENCE Platform
Industry-Specific Standards Support
Associative Design & Updates
With the Check Overlapping option, the two coinciding faces are either bottom/bottom or top/top in both Fold or Unfold Case, can be identifed. Forexample as shown below.
Who Uses xSheetMetal?
Sheet Metal Designers: For creating complex stamped or bent parts.
Manufacturing Engineers: For preparing CNC, laser cutting..
Product Engineers: For integrating sheet metal parts into larger assemblies.
Advantages Over Traditional CAD Tools
Cloud-based collaboration (real-time updates, version control).
Seamless integration with CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, ENOVIA, and DELMIA.
AI-assisted design for manufacturability checks. (Design Assistance is my most wanted)
Step by step, we will achive the best. Learning is process.
