A flat pattern is only useful if it bends to the right size on your press brake. We model sheet metal parts with your material thickness, bend radii and K-factor, and deliver DXF files that are ready to load on the machine.
What you get
- SolidWorks sheet metal parts using your bend table or K-factor
- 1:1 flat-pattern DXF files with bend lines on a separate layer
- Bend drawings with bend direction, angle and sequence notes
- Etch or marking layers if your process uses them
What you can send us
- 3D models, drawings or sketches of the part
- Material, thickness and your bend radius / K-factor or bend table
- Your DXF layer and naming conventions
- Machine limits such as maximum sheet size
Typical uses
- Preparing customer parts for the laser and press brake
- Converting solid models into proper sheet metal parts
- Cleaning up DXF files that fail on the machine
