Create sheet metal seams.

Create seams between faces that intersect or are coplanar. Hemming is the process in which the edge is rolled flush to itself while a seam joins the edges of two materials. Accept the default seam type or select another of the three seam types. 2 57 is one of the most widely used methods for joining light and medium gauge sheet metal.

Consider using the corner seam tool within the inventor sheet metal environment to prep the edges so that you can create a bend between two disjointed faces. It consists of two folded edges that are locked together with a hand groover fig. You use sketch commands to create a profile for a base face or an initial contour flange. Select a model edge on each of two adjacent sheet metal faces.

Unlike benchtop sheet metal tools these shapers are portable so they re often used on site by roofers. The grooved seam joint fig. When making a grooved seam on a cylinder you fit the piece over a stake and lock it with the hand groover fig. The type of seam used depends largely on the application.

Create a sheet metal part using the sheet metal template. A variety of seams are used to connect pieces of sheet metal in construction auto body creation and fine art sculpture.

Hemming and seaming are two similar metalworking processes in which a sheet metal edge is rolled over onto itself.

Use 1 8 markings to set up precise bends. With a single tool create both sharp creases and soft curves along the edges of sheet metal. You can create sheet metal parts in several ways. Also known as edge rollers these tools slide back and forth along edges to create even bends.

On the ribbon click sheet metal tab modify panel corner seam. Select a model edge on each of two adjacent sheet metal faces. Create corner seam between sheet metal faces. Create seams between faces that intersect or are coplanar.

Some seams are created entirely by machine or in a metal shop while others are made to snap together without requiring welding or soldering on site. Accept the default seam type or select another of the three seam types. 1 make a planer 2mm 2 create a flange 1 manipulated in the sketch option so i have two bends 3 create a new flange 2 with a chain.
