For designers and engineers, as well as non-CAD specialists, Bent Part Design provides the following capabilities:

  • Imagine in 3D, realizing ideas and concepts from scratch or from existing geometry.
  • Design bent parts simultaneously in folded and unfolded view, as both views are available at any time.
  • Model bent parts easily and quickly, taking advantage of native hybrid modeling tools to generate walls on edge, cutouts, corners, and so on.
  • Move, position and assemble 3D parts and products.
  • Modify or unfold feature-based and non-native parts from V5 or other CAD systems.

You can reuse conceptual designs as preliminary shapes for detail design in the Sheet Metal Design app.
