Flattening a sheet metal can be easy using solid rolls used for bending metals and also by simple mig welding.
Inventor sheet metal helix.
Total project time approximately 20 minutes.
Hello i am stumped on how they make the sheet metal spiral for something like this see image below.
Inventor plechový šnek ilogic rozvin youtube.
The autodesk inventor software provides functionality that simplifies the creation editing and documentation of digital prototypes of sheet metal components a sheet metal part is often thought of as a part fabricated from a sheet of uniformly thick material.
You also want to know how to assign the up and down bend lines of the flat pattern to different layers.
But your case is a bit complicated because you have to do it virtually i saw.
If you design small objects this material is often thin.
Before you begin download the step by step guide pdf.
With a spiral curve and an ilogic macro you can create a spiral helix sheet metal worm screw in inventor and then unfold this 3d part.
In this video we present two methods to create parts based on a 2d spiral shape that can later on be flattened in the sheet metal environment additionally a sheet metal part macro is presented to assign bend lines.
I can see how they would make a sheet metal helix without the room for a rod through the center but can not wrap my head around the manufacturing process for a sheet metal helix with room down it s center to be welded on a rod.
