Can I order the flat pattern of bent sheet metal using Sophia®?
Yes, that is possible. You upload the STEP file with the bent sheet metal part in Sophia®. Then click on the “Export part to DXF” icon to download the sheet metal flat pattern. Finally, you can upload the downloaded DXF file in Sophia®, configure it and place your order. This is useful if you want to do the bending yourself.
