Everything you ever wanted to know about Sheet Metal (but where afraid to ask)

As the title suggests, I have watched Woody Allen's amazing commentary on Sex and the socio-biological ramifications of it. But back to SheetMetal in CAD. In this video, you will find everything you need to get started making Sheet Metal parts, making good parts and doing it reliably by verifying your design as you go along.

Alibre Design - How to Drive a Part From a Layout Sketch

In this tutorial I will use a 2D sketch of the layout of a fan scroll to generate a 3D sheetmetal part using Alibre Design Software. When producing a range of centifugal fans the performance of each particular fan in the range is governed by equations called the "fan laws". Once the actual performance of one fan in the range has been established the performance of all other sizes can be predicted by these laws. This makes producing a complete range of a particular type of fan an ideal task for a parametric 3D approach to produce the drawings and other details ready for manufacture. The main dimensions of our fan are based off the diameter of the rotor.

Basic Steps to Model Anchor Bracket from 6mm Plate

This is the basic steps to model a version of anchor bracket manufactured from 6mm thk. mild steel plate. The software I have used is Alibre Design. The same basic approach would be taken using Solid Works, Solid Edge. or Inventor, with small differences due to the basic sheetmetal being a little bit different. My preference for making the pressed version of this part is a laser cut profile pressed into shape is a very simple way to make this. This is a good way to make a few or many of this part. The first step is to select a starting plane and sketch this basic shape. The construction lines are a guide. As I am allowing for thickness of material and radius of bends, I have offset the actual profile by 12mm

Print BIGGER Than Your 3D Printer! ⏩The "Wandering Square" Trick ⏪

Diablo II teaches us that the path of a Dark Wanderer leads to chaos. But the path of the Square Wanderer, however, leads to perfectly assembled, massive 3dprint. Today at ExMachina Engineering, we're showing you how to master the latter. This method moves beyond a simple slice-and-dice, creating strong, perfectly aligned, and nearly invisible seams. It's time to say goodbye to guesstimate-joints and alignment headaches and turn your standard 3D printer into a monster-sized fabrication tool.

Alibre Design is a low cost 3D modeling and 2D drafting application that is functionally similar to Solid Works and Inventor, but at a fraction of the price. It does not come with surfacing tools, FEM, or animation, but if I had a requirement for these functions I can purchase them as ad-dons. As a small time, semi- retired CAD contractor if I purchased Solid Works or Inventor I would not make any return on my investment, I would need to be unethical and pirate these software's or be prepared to never make a profit but only a loss. Alibre Design, for the most part is quite like using Solid Works or inventor but had a couple of features not found in these two applications. The method I use in this tutorial is one of these features.
