Relief Sheet Metal

When designing parts for laser cutting one should not make holes smaller than the thickness of the material.

Relief sheet metal.

The model must have three bends where the bend lines meet. Bends in sheet metal are manufactured using sheet metal brakes. Preventing tearing and part deformation during the bending process. Sheet metal parts with a minimum of 0 9mm to 20mm in thickness can be manufactured.

Though bend relief lengths and widths vary between projects they all share a common goal. Choose create relief in the sheet metal menu. The corner relief is applied at the common intersection point of the bend lines. Sheet metal related searches.

This is due to excessive localized stresses from the work hardening forces imposed on the metal. Under corners click collect all corners to list all corners in the sheet metal body. Similarly insufficient bend radius may lead to brittle fracture failure of the sheet metal. In the corner relief propertymanager under scope select the sheet metal body to which to apply the corner relief.

Click corner relief sheet metal toolbar or insert sheet metal corner relief. For example if you make a partial flange as above using all the defaults the software makes relief cuts at the end of the bends as shown to the right. Do one of the following. To eliminate this a bend relief is added so the edge of the sheet metal is perpendicular to the bend.

Click insert sheet metal corner relief. Synchronous sheet metal is pretty cool even cooler than just normal synchronous modeling if you ll excuse that word. Bend reliefs in sheet metal. Select a hard edge bend face flange face or 3d solid entire model.

In sheet metal a bend relief is an incision cut along the sides of a planned bend. Creates a corner relief where three bends meet at one common point. You can add a corner relief to a single sheet metal body. Select an item see the note below.

A 1 degree tolerance on all bend angles. When sheet metal makes a transition from a bend to a flat surface or to another bend it tends to rip and tear. See the picture on the side for an example. Each corner of the t is at risk of tearing if the relevant line segment is bent without proper bend relief.

Creates a corner relief where two bends meet. Click the create relief tool button on the sheet metal ribbon tab.
