Although parts are typically designed in their “formed” state, they begin as a flat plate. As a result, manufacturability becomes a critical aspect of every feature making up the finished part. Add to this the need to account for material thickness, along with bend and corner relief, miter deformation features and critical dimensions (inside or outside) . When you take all of this into consideration, it becomes obvious that you need a highly specialized set of tools if real productivity and quality gains are to be realized from design through manufacturing.  \nThis white paper discusses how careful consideration of the sheet metal process, as well as extensive research into the use of sheet metal components, led Siemens PLM Software to develop Solid Edge Sheet Metal, the industry’s most advanced set of sheet metal modeling capabilities.  \nThe Solid Edge sheet metal environment is a core design capability that includes an entire design-through-fabrication workflow and streamlined modeling commands tailored to the unique needs of sheet metal design. As result, Solid Edge Sheet Metal helps ensure that designed parts can be manufactured, documented and utilized by CNC machinery.  \nA white paper issued by: Siemens PLM Software 3  \nMeeting the challenge of sheet metal design  \nChallenges of sheet metal design  \nBefore we take a close look at how Solid Edge approaches sheet metal design, let’s first understand what engineers struggle with when choosing a 3D system for sheet metal design.  \n• Most traditional 3D CAD systems are history-based systems that require special commands and workflows to create even simple parts. Typically, users need specialized training, which can result in downtime during adoption.  \n• While designing sheet metal parts in traditional 3D CAD is faster than 2D, these history-based systems force users topreplan designs to accommodate future changes.
