Addresses the manufacturing preparation for sheet metal parts

Product overview

CATIA-Sheetmetal Production 1 (SH1) is a P1


product which covers the manufacturing
preparation for sheet metal parts. It allows the
recognition of a 3D solid part as a sheet metal
part, and the transformation of its 3D
functional folded shape in its unfolded
manufacturable representation. Including
tools for manufacturability checks (like
checking overlapping, checking feature
fold/unfold visibility), bending wizard, one can sheetmetal manufacturing subcontractors.
