Hi friends welcome back to CADable, this is Engr. Ibrahim Omer. In today's CADable tutorial, we're focusing on SolidWorks sheet metal and exploring how to use the swept flange feature. If you're new to this, don't worry – we'll guide you through it step by step. We'll start by drawing a rectangle, then turning it into a base flange/tab. Remember, swept flanges are a bit different – they need a sketch and a profile. So, we'll sketch four lines and adjust some settings to make a simple sheet metal box. Once our box is done, we'll figure out the blank size using the 'flatten' command. Then, we'll move on to exporting the file to machining software for cutting – like laser, wire cut, or EDM. We'll save it in DXF format, all set for machining. This tutorial is great for beginners. Take your time, pause if needed, and feel free to ask questions in the comments. Remember, practice makes perfect!
