Chapter 2: Adding Bends Using Edge Flanges
Bent edges known as Edge Flanges are the workhorses of SolidWorks Sheet Metal, and they are one of the most common building blocks for adding 3D detail to your flat Base Flanges. Although Edge Flanges can appear to be very simple, they can be used to build highly complex parts.
In this chapter, we'll learn how to add basic Edge Flanges, and then we'll explore how these can be edited and adjusted. We'll also look at some more advanced options and details that can unlock the power of Edge Flanges, allowing you to use them on multiple edges, as well as edit flange profiles, and more.
By the end of this chapter, you'll have a full understanding of Edge Flanges and how they can be used to build Sheet Metal models.
In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:
- Using Edge Flanges
- Edge Flanges: advanced options
