Creo 3.0 Sheetmetal tutorials - all in one

[VladimirPalffy]

Hi all,

I have created Sheetmetal tutorials for you. In this tutorials you can learn quickly and easily - How to use Sheetmetal features.

Note: if you need to learn something more about Creo features - leave a commnet here Thanks.

I will try to prepare some other and new examples for Basic and Advanced Creo modeling.

Best Regards,

Vladimir Palffy

Hi,

I'm using Creo 4 M040
I know how to convert solid parts to sheet metal and unbend them but there are more often parts which includes different types of forms and converting is very tricky. I cannot find a proper tool of Flexible Modeling tools that helps me on converting solid part to sheet metal.

For this example to the part has designed roller forming. Creo does not recognize the part when trying to convert it to sheet metal as picking Driving surface. One way to do it of course it is to convert it as a surface, copy surfaces, convert to sheet metal and use offset tool. But then the inner surface between the roller features leaves out. And when leaving the inner surface after copying and offsetting, the sheet metal part does not unfold because the sheet metal part is divided.

My question is how to convert it to sheet metal with forming features and unfold it?

This is the best list of general tutorials I have seen:

https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Academic-Program-Discussions/How-are-you-learning-Creo-Parametric-CAD/m-p/263049/highlight/true#M4700

I don't know if it has specific info bend/roll features or for surfacing.

@VladimirPalffy  the cone/ Funnel that you did I need help making something like that but a cone that is rolled into itself with gaps between each roll. so I can 3d print it.

Hi. Thank you for your positive feedback and question. Maybe some image will help...I do not know exactly what you need to print. 
Bye, Vladimir
