Creating a Scrap Partition

Use Scrap Partition to automatically compute scrap elements (Cut parts of the sheet of metal that are discarded) using the addendum surface and the cutting lines.

  1. Select one or several surfaces to cut
  2. Select splitting elements.

    They can be:

    • A 3D curve projected on the surface to cut.
    • A 2D curve that defines a plane.
    • 3D surfaces intersecting the surfaces to cut.
    • Process cut tools.
    • Or a trim partition.

  3. Select the elements (wireframe) to cut the scraps.
    Depending on the geometries inside the sketch that defines the scrap cutters, Scrap Partition extracts geometries with a type (Scrap hole or Scrap Line).
    Tip: Change the type from the context menu.
  4. Optional: Select the projection direction.
    Results are listed under More and in the tree.
