Value of the k factor depends on material bend radius sheet thickness and machines used.
Bend sheet metal creo.
From creo parametric 5 0 release the depth option tangent to bend in not available.
Ptc was quite proud of it.
Mathematically k factor is a ratio of position of neutral axis and sheet thickness.
Now that you have a sheet metal part just go to the edit bend command.
I thought they added something for this in creo 3 0.
Sheet metal modeling and drawing with bend table.
When you open legacy models created in creo parametric release 4 0 and previous releases in creo parametric 5 0 the tangent to bend depth option is replace by the on origin depth option.
If i had to i would add the tongue after the bend feature.
See convert a solid part into a sheet metal part for details.
As sheet metal parts are flattened or formed if you start with a flat state pro sheetmetal utilizes a y factor to allow for the fact that metal is elastic and stretches as it bends.
K factor is a constant used to calculate the sheetmetal flat length.
Start by selecting the bend surface.
Here end the fabrication formulas for sheet metal up next we ll be seeing some of the terminologies in sheet metal that you ll need.
You can substitute a bend table for the y factor if you so desire.
This comprehensive suite of creo sheet metal design tools helps users create features such as walls bends punches notches forms and relief features.
Get to know them better to learn advance concept easily.
This is a simplified version so i can t use forms or punches.
What is the method to create sheet metal bend that has a flat area as shown since bend line in sketch must be one entity.
So what i did was build the extrude converted it to sheet metal driving surface and then added a bend feature selecting one of the end edges as the bend line the bend radius would be change from thickness to whatever diameter you are wrapping the label on to.
Using a variety of y and k factor bend allowance calculations designers can create flat patterns of the designs.
Just convert the imported 3d model into a creo sheet metal part by defining a driving surface and you re ready to go.
Value of k factor is always less than 0 5.
What is k factor in sheet metal fabrication.
When the tangent to bend depth option is used in a relation the relation is maintained but the result produced will be the.
