Hi, I am very new to solid works and CAD in general. I
have a shape which I would like an accurate sheet metal
cut pattern for I have tried a few ways of trying to
easily make the item using the sheet metal features
without much luck I have thrown together a quick 3d model
so that you can see the shape.The front and rear radii
are offset from each other
View attachment 5954
basically needs wrapping on top face
Would solid works work this out for me or would i have to
do a separate sheet metal part for each loft, flatten and
then mate each sheet metal part while flattened?
Thanks,
Simon
