Application Areas - CAD - SHEET METAL

I-DEAS Sheet Metal Using the variational solid modeling capabilities of I-DEAS® Master Modeler™, I-DEAS Sheet Metal Design™ automatically incorporates user-definable bend tables, stress reliefs, and shrinkage allowance into solid models to help you rapidly design and evaluate sheet metal parts. A catalog of sheet metal features including punches, tabs, and other features allows you to add final detail to the part to capture true design intent. The solid sheet metal model can be unfolded and used to create fully associative flat pattern production drawings, and numerical control (NC) tool paths for manufacturing. The ability to fully integrate the design, documentation, and manufacturing into one design database greatly reduces the sheet metal design process. More Details
