Learn practical sheet metal design workflows in BricsCAD Mechanical by creating parts both from scratch and from existing solid geometry.

This lesson demonstrates how to build sheet metal models using SMFLANGE and SMFLANGEEDGE, create complex flange arrangements, add slots and cutouts from the hole library, apply chamfers, and generate manufacturing-ready flat patterns with SMUNFOLD.

You will also explore the process of converting conventional 3D solids into intelligent sheet metal parts using SMCONVERT, while adding reliefs with SMRELIEF, creating junctions with SMJUNCTION, and generating bends with SMBEND.

Along the way, the lesson highlights key sheet-metal design principles, feature-creation techniques, and fabrication preparation methods.

By the end, you will understand how to construct, modify, convert, and unfold sheet metal components using efficient and reliable BricsCAD Mechanical workflows.
