Summary

In this chapter we looked at converting 3D models into Sheet Metal parts by using the Convert to Sheet Metal tool. We explored many of the sub-options and briefly discussed errors that might occur, and how they can be fixed. The Convert to Sheet Metal tool is a great option for saving time by taking pre-existing models and quickly changing them into a Sheet Metal format.

In the next chapter, we will put together many of the techniques that we learned about in earlier chapters, and use them to create a sheet metal enclosure.
