Hand held sheet metal edge shapers with a single tool create both sharp creases and soft curves along the edges of sheet metal.

Edge treatment for sheet metal.

The model regenerates using the new settings. Short video tutorial of modification flat feature in sheet metal mode or how to create custom edge treatment with flat feature in creo parametric 2 0 tags. A hem is a flange that has been bent more than 180 degrees. Solid edge is designed by engineers for engineers and solid edge sheet metal is a fine example of this.

Hemming is used widely in sheet metal operations. There are many different techniques for forming a bead. Normally this results in a nick shiny and a break dull area on the slit. To change the edge treatment width type a new value in the box or select gap to create the edge treatment with a width equal to the value set for the smt gap parameter.

Beading is common in the edge treatment of sheet metal parts and can also be used to form the working structure of parts such as hinges. Burrs can arise during slitting. Edge treatments for roll formed parts hemming. Beading forms a curl over a part s edge.

Solid edge uses this philosophy to generate sheet metal components which allows the engineer to think about the design and leave the laborious but nevertheless important details to solid edge.
