SpaceClaim for Sheet Metal Manufacturing

Whether you are machining a part with a CNC router, fabricating a piece of sheet metal, or 3D printing a prototype, SpaceClaim is the best sheetmetal design software which provides best solution to help increase productivity and to get your CADCAM projects completed more smoothly.

Why SpaceClaim for sheet metal industry?

SpaceClaim enables engineers the flexibility to work with any CAD data to create, edit, and prepare models for high precision sheet metal fabrication. No other tool is easier to use and does a better job editing geometry, cleaning up corrupt or difficult CAD data, and delivering high quality sheet metal functionality. SpaceClaim is the only solution on the market today that helps sheet metal manufacturers complete jobs quickly while minimizing downtime on the shop floor which makes spaceClaim the best sheet metal design software.

SpaceClaim Sheet Metal Includes:

• Automatically unfold virtually any sheet metal parts, and export to DXF/DWG
• Simultaneously view and edit folded and unfolded models
• Rapid bend table creation
• Adjust thickness, bend allowance, and material properties on any model
• Customize a form library to create edge and corner reliefs, hems, hinges, punches, louvers and many other forms

SpaceClaim SheetMetal workflow

• Importing or converting DXF/DWG into sheet metal component.
• If the component is solid then converting it into a sheet metal using convert tool with just a single click.
• Identify the sheet metal features within the component tool using identity tool.
• Creating new sketches using sketch tool.
• Editing the sheet metal using pull or move tool.
• Modifying type of junctions, edge reliefs and corner relief or adding notch and hem.
• Create new features such as form, bead, gusset, hinge, tab etc.
• Unfolding the sheet metal to confirm there aren’t any interfering parts or create proposal based on the dimension of the unfold.
• If there is any intersection then editing the sheet metal component to remove it.
• Creating the drawing or exporting the sheet metal part itself.
