I am at a loss here. I am wondering if this sketch I created can be converted into sheet metal. I have looked at a few suggestions but none seem to fit this problem. I would like a single 2" sloped base for a tank I am designing. I would like to add flanges and unfold for laser cut. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Use lofted sheet metal, see attached modification to your sketch.
Thank you both kindly for your input. It is very much appreciated! Troy, I see your example and thank you for that. Is it possible to add flanges to a lofted sheet metal part. I have tried to do so but S.W. tells me that those edges are not on a planar face. I am still stuck a little but appreciate your assistance.
Modify the two sketches of the loft to include the flanges.
Sheetmetal works on 2D sketches
I would add a new 2D sketch linking dimensions to your 3D sketch to create flat pattern
Add diagonals to create triangle in your existing 3D sketch
Add sketch bends as required
I have edited your file
Exagerated offset
and attached it to this page
This allows use of your current geometry and adds additional flanges as well
