Section 3: Converting 3D Parts to Sheet Metal and Creating a Sheet Metal Enclosure

As well as creating Sheet Metal models from scratch, we can also convert existing 3D designs into Sheet Metal models. This section shows two different ways to do this, and also provides a practical example that brings together a number of the skills that we have learned throughout the book.

This section contains the following chapters:

• Chapter 11, Converting to Sheet Metal Using the Insert Bends Tool
• Chapter 12, Building Sheet Metal Parts Using the Convert to Sheet Metal Tool
• Chapter 13, Practical Example: The Sheet Metal Enclosure
