Sheet Metal Design
The sheet metal environment in Inventor 2008
has been upgraded to improve productivity when
designing sheet metal parts and to provide support
for manufacturing information including fl at pattern
modifi cations and punch tool data.

Sheet Metal Design Tools
Improved Flange and Contour Flange Tools
Both tools have been redesigned to reduce the number
of steps required to create fl anges and contour fl anges.

The Flange and Contour
Flange tools enable
designers to
create multiple
fl anges in a
single feature
with support for
nonadjacent edges of a
face, and automatic mitering of
adjacent fl anges/contour fl anges. Both
tools include comprehensive options for
controlling bend position and height.

Improved Corner Tool
With the new Corner tool users can now defi ne corner
overlap conditions using the same aligned dimension
used in the Flange and Contour Flange tools. The
default corner option for three bend intersections can
be modifi ed by selecting from one of four options:
none, intersection, round, and round with radius.

Cut Across Bend
The Cut feature now supports partial thickness cut
depths in conjunction with the cut across bend option.

Flat Pattern Modifi cation
The new fl at pattern environment is shown in the
browser with separate feature trees for the folded and
unfolded states. Features added to the fl at pattern do
not aff ect the folded model, allowing the fl at pattern to
be modifi ed using standard part modeling features.

Both the folded model and fl at pattern are displayed in
the same graphics window, and designers can quickly
switch between the two by clicking on the appropriate
browser node.

The new Edit Flat Pattern Defi nition tool simplifi es the
defi nition of fl at pattern orientation. The same tool
provides access to Punch Defi nition where users can
override the default punch representation defi ned
in the sheet metal style. Users can also add punch
features in the fl at pattern to incorporate proprietary
manufacturing methods.

Table Driven Punch Defi nition
Table driven punch defi nition enables the
characterization of families of punches, typically
diff erent sizes of the same punch shape with full
representation of manufacturing parameters
including punch ID, punch depth, and sketches
for alternate punch representations. Punch depth
represents the throw depth of the tool and can be
tied to sheet metal thickness by incorporating a
formula in the punch defi nition.

Punch tools are defi ned as a specialized subtype of
iFeature. The punch tool subtype incorporates checks

mark required for the creation of drawings and DXF™
fi les for manufacturing.

Bend and Punch Tables
With the new Bend and Punch tables users can quickly
create accurate manufacturing drawings to support
sheet metal manufacturing operations.

Key manufacturing information such as bend angles
and radii as well as punch direction, punch angle, punch
ID, and punch tool depth captured in the 3D model can
be inserted directly in the Inventor drawing using a
single command. Drawing Manager supports alternate
punch representations and annotation of bend
directions using drawings styles for bend line style.
