1.2 Sheet Metal Terminology
An example of the following terminology is shown in Figure 1–3.
Sheet Metal
Parameters
Sheet metal parameters include a part's material thickness,
default bend radius, and bend extremities.
Walls
Sheet metal parts consist of a first wall and multiple walls on
edges.
Cutouts
Cutouts and holes remove material, similar to pockets and holes
in the Part Design app.
Bends
Bend features in sheet metal parts join wall features with a
circular radius.
Relief
Bend relief features can be defined to enable bends to be
fabricated.
Sheet Metal
Features
Various sheet metal class features can be produced such as a
hem, flanged cutouts and holes, and various stamps as shown in
Figure 1–3.
