How to Convert a Solid to Sheet Metal in Creo (Step-by-Step)

Описание: In this step-by-step tutorial, you’ll learn exactly how to convert a solid part into a sheet metal part in PTC Creo. This video covers the entire conversion workflow — from a standard solid model all the way to a fully flattened sheet metal part.

In this video you’ll learn:

How to convert a solid part to sheet metal using the Sheet Metal application

The difference between Shell vs Driving Surface (and when to use each)

How to set sheet metal thickness correctly

How to convert solid edges into sheet metal bends

How to use Edge Rip to break solid edges so the part can flatten

Two different ways to create edge rips in Creo

How to define fixed geometry for flattening

How to create and view the flat state (flat pattern) of your part

Why edge rips and bends are required before flattening will work

This is a must-know workflow if you’re doing fabrication, laser cutting, bending drawings, or DXF exports from Creo.
