Using Sheetmetal design with Multibody to create stamped and formed parts
I've been enjoying getting more into Sheetmetal's powerful and capabilities to recreate this stamped handle assembly from my 40 year old wooden machinist chest...
First, I took a photo from all directions and used it to trace and sketch the outlines. I swept the handle profile and then added a new body. I converted the first wall to Sheetmetal, and then it was quite easy to use a Sketched Form with the built-in radius on non-placement edges. I then created a hole pattern and used Intelligent fasteners to screw them in place. Then I used the built in chrome and wood grain appearances and setup render studio to make the image.

Here is how I did it:
