This is similar to what I'm working with...
Currently in our company our manufacturing process involves first taking raw extrusions and machining them using your standard HAAS CNC machine, then bending them according to print. Recently though, some of our CNC programmers have insisted that along with our typical model (which includes the part that is both bent AND machined) to have a flat state model (just machined).
If this was a sheetmetal part, it would have been very simple: just make a flat state instance. However, the only way we have been able to do this right now is to copy the part. It works but leaves the bent and unbent parts unrelated.
Does anyone have a suggestion to maketwo models that are similar except for the bend states?
Thanks in advance!
