I am somewhat new to SW, however I have been doing a lotofstandard sheet metal design (designing boxes and casesforelectronic components) and weldments as well.  HoweverIwant to use SW to create "artwork" and then I can printout 1:1drawings of the part to enable a template to cut parts, orto create.dxf's to get laser/plasma cut.  Then I can handform the partsthe same as the SW model and weld it together. Aproject I want totry (which will be similar in construction to alot of my futureideas) is a gift to my Fiance on her B-day.

Now how do I make the band into a flat piece of sheetmetal? I want it to start/end at the top/middle of thepiece. The reason why I want SW to do this is because I canget theheight profile of the material exactly the same as the modelwhicheliminates any guess work.  I will be forming it outofStainless along with capping both sides with Stainless.

Any advice would be fantastic!SolidworksSheet Metal
