Sheet metal and weldments

Create folded components, frames, and welded structures while preserving manufacturing-oriented design intent.

Sheet metal and weldment workflows help represent fabricated parts and structures in the same product definition as machined and standard components.

Sheet metal design

Define the base geometry, material-related bend behavior, and the flanges or formed features required by the part. Review the flattened result before release and confirm that the design matches the intended manufacturing process.

Weldment structures

Create the controlling frame or path, apply the required structural members, and resolve corners and member lengths. Add plates, brackets, and machining details after the main structure is stable.
