CADDS 5 Sheet Metal Design Option

Sheet metal design is an important part of delivering equipment chassis, frames, brackets, and enclosures. CADDS 5 Sheet Metal Design Option automates the design and development of sheet metal components and folded plates. In a single application you can create your sheet metal design from a simple model, produce flat-patterns, using attributes such as thickness, bend angles and bend allowance, and deliver the finished, fully-featured 3D solid model, including manufacturing data. CADDS 5 Sheet Metal Design Option saves time and helps you optimize your design and manufacturing processes.

Benefits

• Leverage a broad range of sheet metal design capabilities which are fully integrated into the CADDS 5 modeling environment to define, visualize and document fabrication requirements for sheet and plate metal components
• Choose the method best suited to the design task by using a variety of modeling methods - including 2D, 3D idealized shell or thick models, and fully-featured models
• Easily update parts with flexible history editing capabilities
• Export designs to multiple output formats including IGES and direct translation to third-party NC systems
