I modeled this part using a sheetmetal loft. I was unable todo a standard sheetmetal extrude since it gave me a message stating"The sketch contains an entity with unsuitable geometry."

The part flattens just fine, but our weld shop is having troublefitting part. One of the SW users in the shop added 1/4" materialto the flat pattern, and they said the part fits fine now.

I know that K factor and bend radius play a part in the end resultof the flat pattern, but these match up to the other parts wemanufacture out of 16GA 316SS.
