Sheet metal design and manufacturing is not just bending a sheet — it’s a complete CAD-to-machine workflow. It starts with sheet metal design in SOLIDWORKS: defining material, thickness, bend radius, K-factor, bend reliefs, and real manufacturing constraints. The part is then flattened accurately using correct bend allowance logic to generate the exact blank (flat pattern) — no guesswork. This flat pattern is exported as DXF and taken into laser cutting programming, where nesting, kerf compensat
