How to bend the surface of given thickenss along the corner?

[govindiitd]

Hi,

I have seen the examples of creating curved surfaces. Yes that all helped me to get start with FreeCAD. I find that those are bending the surface along the edge however in my case I want to bend the surface along the corner.

That will look like after the bend

My problem is also required to have surface thickness. If it possible How do I parametrized using script file?


Thanks,
Govind

FreeCAD doesn't have tools to bend existing parts so you should model this as bent from the start. External workbenches for curves and curved shapes may help with that and you can try wrapping a sketch around a cylinder as well.

The way I would model what you require would be using the Sheetmetal Wb (Addon). Attached is an example using:

Code: Select all

OS: Linux Mint 19.3 (X-Cinnamon/cinnamon)
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.20.28514 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: 6eafd180306cf19028d361115a47cac2fbee55a3
Python 3.6.9, Qt 5.9.5, Coin 4.0.0a, OCC 7.3.0
Locale: English/UnitedKingdom (en_GB)
Installed mods: 
  * sheetmetal 0.2.49

Note: You should only change the radius and angle on Fold , then press F5 which will trigger Fold001to follow the changes using expressions. If you try to use a radius or angle outside the permitted limits you will receive a red warning in the Report Panel.

... playing with other FC-features => problem was to find a shape that accepts filled 3D-Offset.
