rfisk Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 How do you create a custom emboss shape in sheet metal? Is there a tool like the custom profile punch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 IronCAD XG (V12) has a Custom Emboss tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 It is at the bottom of the sheet metal catalog. Right-click to edit the profile to a customer shape. Edit the tooling properties to edit the radius for the top and bottom. Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cborer Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hi Cary Please don't forget the sheetmetal overlaping tool Sheet over sheet from same ground. Thanks Carlo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlehnhaeuser Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hi Cary Please don't forget the sheetmetal overlaping tool Sheet over sheet from same ground. Thanks Carlo 27396[/snapback] You mean like a jog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlehnhaeuser Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hi Richard tx for not but I meant jog as and "overlap" not really an emboss ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cborer Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Hi Tom Maybe deduct is a reasonable word. To connect 2 sheet you have to deduct one of them about the thickness of the other sheet. So there are two radius in a S shape. This is one of the most used metal sheet connection, like rivets and so on. One sheet lays over the other one, for the connecting space, from otside it looks flat. Understand? Best Carlo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EricFoy Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Carlo, are these what you're talking about? I would call these "Lap Joint," one being "centered," "centerline," or "midplane." The other I would call "flush one side." The diagonal section is definitely called either a "joggle" or a "jog" here in the western U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cborer Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) Hi Eric Very nice but too far I was just thinking on that! But attaching each other. Maybe its the curved stock? Curved stock didnt work here. Thanks Carlo Edited December 22, 2009 by cborer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlehnhaeuser Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 What Carlo shows is a jog in other applications ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Yes but what is the jog geometry in that case. If both bends are at the 0 radius and it is still too high, then you are not using a bend to achieve the result (unless it is angled). Which if it is angled, can't that be achieved today in IRONCAD?

cborer Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Cary you are right. Its more a kind of pressing than of bending! Well its hard to say as the dictionary offers a lot of words. I try: deduct /degrade /offset Maybe press-offset hits it? Anyway to do it in IC is a big work. Thanks Carlo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 A drag-and-drop "jog" would be a nice feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EricFoy Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Yes, a "Jog," which would have a user-specified offset entered in units of optionally either thicknesses or inches/mm, and which would follow the minimum bend radius rules up to a specified limiting jog angle. The shape should regenerate itself properly when the stock thickness is changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cborer Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yeah that would be perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
