Sheet Metal with SolidCraft

Free course · 12 sheets · SolidCraft 0.21

Every sheet metal part starts flat.

Short lessons where you build a real part in SolidCraft, then check your numbers against SolidCraft's own: flat size, bend allowance, bend count. By the last sheet you take a small enclosure from sketch to a DXF for the laser.
