Hi guys and girls,
Sorry if this already been up for discussion but I cannot find it. Feel free to post any link where the question already been up.
I am trying to make a collar follow a pipe. The collar is straight onto to pipe but angled around 45-60 degrees or something.
I saw sometime ago on the internet a post about drawing the profile of collar then using wrap tool to "sweep" it around the path.
But example 2 is nowhere to be found:
CATI Technotes: SolidWorks Lofted Bends for Complex Sheet Metal Parts
Now I tried using sweep but then I dont know how to flatten it.
I attach my part and a picture.
Is there any good add-on that makes sheet metal like this easier?
