What is 3D SheetMetal Creator?
3D SheetMetal Creator is a cloud-based CAD design role available to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This brings the power of sheet-metal design to the cloud, allowing you to complete your designs from all of your devices including mobile devices such as tablets and phones. The sheet-metal design technology brings you the power to create all of your sheet metal components and assemblies from wherever you are, on any device. This modeling service is powered with the SOLIDWORKS xSheetMetal app. It is compatible with 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, allowing you to design parts on the go and utilize those parts in your SOLIDWORKS assemblies.
Who is 3D SheetMetal Creator For?
The 3D SheetMetal Creator role provides you with sheet-metal design capabilities on the cloud. This allows you to create complex sheet-metal components and assemblies with ease from anywhere, on any device, as long as you have an internet connection. This role is especially useful for designers and engineers that frequently design products with sheet-metal components.
Job Positions That Could Use 3D SheetMetal Creator
CAD Designers, CAD Managers, Mechanical Engineers, Design Engineers, and more.
Key Apps Included With 3D SheetMetal Creator
xSheetMetal
xSheetMetal is the only app included with the 3D SheetMetal role. This app brings users all the sheet-metal design capabilities described for the role, allowing you to create your sheet-metal components or even complex sheet-metal assemblies. It also includes tools to check the manufacturability of your design, such as flat pattern interference detection. Once your design is complete, you can convert to flat pattern and export to DXF to send off for manufacturing. As an x-app on 3DEXPERIENCE, it is accessible on the cloud and pairs seamlessly with other design apps such as SOLIDWORKS and xDesign, as well as all other apps throughout the platform.
What Comes Next?
The 3D SheetMetal Creator role is great for creating sheet-metal components and assemblies. 3D Creator is a role that allows you to carry out traditional parametric modeling from the cloud. If you have any CAD needs that extend beyond the capabilities of 3D Creator or 3D SheetMetal Creator, the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS packages are suggested. These packages have the 3D Creator and 3D Sculptor included alongside 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS which is the SOLIDWORKS you know and love but connected to the cloud with built in data management. The additional possibilities for roles are extensive. Contact us to learn about the many options for other design roles, simulation roles, rendering roles, and more.
