GNÄSLUND Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I don't think you can't fold that curve with the sheet metal tools. It only works with "developable surfaces", see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developable_surface You can however model it in IRONCAD in its "folded" state with ordinary modeling tools. Extrude -> shell -> cut away excess material. And then create a drawing that can be used to manufacture the part. To manufacture it you either need to use manual forming tools (shrinker stretcher, etc) or machine a press-forming tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
