Hello everyone
I modeled up this sprint car wing.
I want drawings to be able to make more wings but I ran into an issue
Hopefully somebody can help me out
So in img1 you can see the wing with sheets covering it
Img 2 is the wing without the sheets
and img 3 is the side view of the wing
The idea was to draw everything up so I wouldn't have to hand drill all the holes on the sheet
but in order to get it to fold over the wing, I had to make a bunch of bends as shown in img 4 the blue line
In order to be able to cut the part
I have to save a DXF of the flat pattern
the issue is, when I have the part cut and put it on the wing, the holes are not matching up
I don't know if its the bends throwing everything off or what's the problem
So basically what i'm asking
is there a way to create a sheet metal sheet over the wing, which is not flat, and be able to make holes in it that will hopefully match the wing
Hi Jose
I think the only thing you would be able to do is to sketch out the outline on one side (img 3 orientation) and create the base flange that way, adding the correct bend radii and parameters you need. Then add the holes using Extruded cuts or the hole wizard using the existing holes as references. Then you'll be able to flatten the body and still have the holes in it.
Kind Regards
