鈑金模型
藉由轉換現有零件,擠出草圖曲線 (包括用來建立軋延鈑金的弧與樣條),或加厚面或草圖來建立鈑金零件。
藉由轉換現有零件,擠出草圖曲線 (包括用來建立軋延鈑金的弧與樣條),或加厚面或草圖來加入至鈑金零件。在使用中鈑金模型上的所有操作都會自動出現為展開圖樣, 且接合與彎折會列在鈑金表格中。會即時提供摺疊、展開圖樣與表格視圖,且會同步更新。鈑金模型可由多個零件組成,多個鈑金模型可以是同時使用中。
The Sheet metal model tool activates a sheet metal feature. Consequently, features affecting that sheet metal model affect it as a piece of sheet metal. The Finish sheet metal tool deactivates the sheet metal feature, allowing features to affect the model as a 3D model and not as sheet metal.
例如,當鈑金模型是啟用時,任何貫穿鈑金的特徵是垂直於牆面的,但當鈑金停用時,貫穿牆面的特徵會受限於特徵與牆面間的角度。
You are also able to use the additional sheet metal tools to create flanges, define and modify joints, convert bends to rips and vice versa, define corner parameters, as well as view the sheet metal as a 3D part and in flattened view simultaneously. Onshape also provides a sheet metal table listing bends and rips, where you are able to edit corner radii and joint types as well as create a drawing of the sheet metal part.
這個影片說明如何使用「轉換」操作建立一個鈑金模型。
按一下 Part Studio 工具列中的「鈑金模型」特徵工具。根據預設,鈑金的操作類型是「轉換」。請保留選取這個類型。
在圖形區域中選擇要轉換的零件和曲面。選擇要從操作中「排除的面」。接著選擇用來定義彎折的邊線;未選取的邊線會變為裂口。沒有選取至 「要彎折的邊線或圓柱」欄位中的弧或樣條會變為相切的接合,而不是彎折。
核取「包含彎折」來將彎折包括在餘隙值之間。
核取「保留輸入零件」來保留一開始選取的零件 (被鈑金所封閉)。
按一下「一般」下拉清單並輸入鈑金的「厚度」。按一下箭頭來反轉厚度的方向。輸入「折彎半徑」來調整所建立折彎的內部半徑。按一下「反轉方向朝上」來反轉鈑金模型的方位。當定義彎折相對於模型是朝上還是朝下時是相當有用的。
使用「材料」與「離隙」下拉清單選項來進一步定義鈑金模型。
按一下核取記號來接受新的鈑金模型。
封住現有的零件來建立鈑金模型:
- While in a Part Studio, click .
- 選擇鈑金操作的類型:轉換
- 選擇要封住的零件。
- 選擇要排除在操作之外的面。
- Select the edges to define bends; edges not selected are made into rips.
Arcs or splines not selected in the "Edges or cylinders to bend" field become tangent joints, not bends. See the example below.
- Specify applicable options:
- Clearance from input - The relative offset between the sheet metal and the part selected to be enclosed by the sheet metal
- Include bends - Check this to include the bend within the clearance value
- Keep input parts - Keep the selected parts (enclosed by the sheet metal) or not
- Thickness - The thickness of the sheet metal
- Bend radius - The inside radius of the bends created
- Flip direction up - Reverses the orientation of the sheet metal model. This is useful when defining whether bends are up or down, relative to the model.
- 彎折計算 - 決定計算彎折的方式。選項有:
- K 係數 (預設) - 使用中立軸與材料厚度的比例。
- 彎折裕度 - 使用彎折相切點之間的中立線弧長。
- 彎折扣除 - 使用凸緣長度總合 (從邊線到頂端) 與初始展開長度間的差異。
會將在這裡選擇的彎折計算用為鈑金表格中的一個欄位。可以自訂每個彎折並可從表格中直接編輯。詳細資訊請參考鈑金表格與展開視圖。
- Default bend K Factor - The fraction of material thickness on which the neutral axis lies on a bend. (Default is 0.45.)
- Rolled K Factor - The fraction of material thickness on which the neutral axis lies on a section of rolled wall. (Default is 0.5.)

這個影片說明如何使用「擠出」操作建立一個鈑金模型。
按一下 Part Studio 工具列中的「鈑金模型」特徵工具。選擇 [擠出] 鈑金模型操作。在圖形區域中選擇「要擠出的草圖曲線」。選擇性地選擇「擠出為彎折的弧」。這樣會使得任何所選的弧被建立為彎折 (而非相切的接合),並列於彎折表格中,其中半徑會是反灰的。這是因為弧在草圖中已有半徑,所以您無法在彎折表格中編輯半徑。選擇一個「終止類型」:「給定深度」、「成形至下一幾何」、「成形至面」、「成形至零件」或「成形至一頂點」。按一下箭頭來在相反的方向上擠出。
在對話方塊中輸入深度的數值,或在圖形區域中使用操控器。
核取「對稱」(僅能在「給定深度」與「完全貫穿」終止類型中使用) 來在草圖平面的兩個方向擠出。
或者,與其使用「對稱」選項,改核取「第二結束位置」來指定相反的結束位置,使其深度與第一個主深度不同。
在「一般」下拉清單中輸入鈑金的「厚度」。按一下箭頭來反轉厚度的方向。輸入「折彎半徑」來調整所建立折彎的內部半徑。按一下「反轉方向朝上」來反轉鈑金模型的方位。當定義折彎相對於模型是朝上還是朝下時是相當有用的。
使用「材料」與「離隙」下拉清單選項來進一步定義鈑金模型。

當使用弧或樣條來定義捲曲鈑金壁時,鈑金表格與展開圖樣會稍有不同。在表格中不會列出捲曲鈑金壁的彎折,而是列出相切接合:
同樣地,展開圖樣中不會有彎折線,因為沒有做出彎折。
您可以決定是否要將弧擠出為彎折,不過在「擠出為彎折的弧」欄位啟用的情況下選擇弧 (如下所示):
這樣會使得所選的一或多個弧被建立為彎折 (而非相切的接合),並列於彎折表格中,但半徑會是反灰的。這是因為弧在草圖中已有半徑,所以您無法在彎折表格中編輯半徑。
這個影片說明如何使用「加厚」操作建立一個鈑金模型。

Only a subset of available features can be added to active sheet metal models (Extrude > Remove, Move face, Boolean, and Hole for example). All features are represented in the feature list, the model in the graphics area, the sheet metal table, and the flat pattern. For example, you are able to Extrude > Remove a sketch to create an opening in an active sheet metal model. The resulting opening’s sides are always perpendicular to the wall it pierces.
Other Extrude options that modify the model such as Add or Intersect are not allowed until the model is deactivated using the Finish sheet metal model tool.
請注意,用來修改已停用鈑金模型的之後特徵對零件的作用就像在非鈑金零件上的特徵一樣,並不會影響展開圖樣或表格值。
如果需要,可使用圓角與倒角來柔化鈑金的邊緣。請注意,必須選擇鈑金上明確轉角的邊線而不是相鄰的邊線。同時請注意,目前無法在鈑金上使用進階的圓角與倒角特徵 (例如,圓錐圓角)。
雖然有圓角或倒角,Onshape 會維持原始的建構邊線,並為之後的特徵使用該原始建構邊線。例如,若是在圓角邊線上建立凸緣,會忽略圓角並沿著原始的邊線建立凸緣。如果需要,您可以使用「移動面」工具來將凸緣的邊線移回至圓角的邊線上。
在轉角上產生圓角:
建立凸緣:
使用「移動面」來移動凸緣的邊線:
重新圓化轉角:
您可以使用複製排列工具 (線性複製排列、環狀複製排列與曲線複製排列) 中的「面」參數,或是使用鏡射鈑金面與凸緣來複製排列鈑金面與凸緣。如正常方式一般使用工具,只要確定選擇「面」做為複製排列類型,或在鏡射時選擇面即可:
當鈑金模型啟用時 (在建立或編輯鈑金的過程中),其他可用的工具包括:
- 凸緣 - 為每條所選的邊線建立牆面,使用彎折來連接所選的邊線。
- 摺邊 - 在現有的鈑金零件上為所選取的邊線/面建立摺邊。

You may decide to extrude an arc as a bend, however, by selecting the arc while the "Arcs to extrude as bends" field is active.
This results in the selected arc (or arcs) being made into bends (instead of tangent joints).
Create a sheet metal model by thickening faces, surfaces or sketch regions:
- While in a Part Studio, tap .
- Select the type of sheet metal operation: Thicken
- Select sketch regions, planar surfaces or faces of a part.
- Select the edges to create bends; edges not selected are made into rips or, in the case of arcs and splines, are made into tangent joints.
- Specify applicable options:
- Clearance from input - The relative offset between the sheet metal and the part selected to be enclosed by the sheet metal
- Clearance includes bends - Check to include the clearance for bends

You may decide to thicken an arc as a bend, however, by selecting the arc while the "Arcs to extrude as bends" field is active.
This results in the selected arc (or arcs) being made into bends (instead of tangent joints).
Only a subset of available features can be added to active sheet metal models (Extrude > Remove, Move face, Boolean, and Hole for example). All features are represented in the feature list, the model in the graphics area, the sheet metal table, and the flat pattern. For example, you can Extrude > Remove a sketch to create an opening in an active sheet metal model. The resulting opening’s sides are always perpendicular to the wall it pierces.
Other Extrude options that modify the model such as Add or Intersect are not allowed until the model is deactivated using the Finish sheet metal model tool.
Keep in mind that subsequent features modifying a deactivated sheet metal model act on the part as they would any non-sheet metal part, and do not affect the flat pattern or table values.
Use Fillet and Chamfer to soften sheet metal edges, if necessary. Be aware that selecting a sheet metal edge must be done at the very corner and not an adjacent edge. Note that advanced Fillet and Chamfer features (conic fillet for example) are not available on sheet metal at this time.
Onshape retains the original construction edge despite a fillet or chamfer and uses that construction edge for future features. For example, creating a flange on a filleted edge ignores the fillet and creates the flange along the original edge. You may use the Move face tool to move the edge of the flange back to the edge of the fillet if desired:
Fillet a corner:
Create a flange:
Use Move face to move the edge of the flange:
Re-fillet the corner:
You have the ability to pattern sheet metal faces and flanges using the Face parameter of the patterning tools (Linear pattern, Circular pattern, and Curve pattern) as well as mirroring sheet metal faces and flanges. The tools function normally, just make sure to select "Face" as the Pattern type, or to select a face when mirroring.
When a sheet metal model is active (in the process of being created or edited), additional tools are available:
- 凸緣 - 為每條所選的邊線建立牆面,使用彎折來連接所選的邊線。
- 摺邊 - 在現有的鈑金零件上為所選取的邊線/面建立摺邊。
- 薄板頁 - 將一個薄板頁加入至鈑金凸緣中。
- Bend - Bend a sheet metal model along a reference line, with additional bend control options.

- 轉角 - 修改轉角類型與止裂比例。
- 彎折止裂 - 修改彎折止裂 (在彎折結束與自由邊線交會處做出的小切除)、深度與止裂寬度。
- Modify joint - Make changes to an existing joint, such as converting a bend to a rip. Currently available through the flat view table.
- Corner break - Break the corner on existing sheet metal parts by applying a fillet or chamfer. Select a corner edge or vertex and specify corner break type and distance. It is recommended to use this feature after all flanges and joints of the Sheet metal model are finalized.
- Sheet metal table and flat view - Open and close the Rip/Bend tables and the visualization of the sheet metal model flat pattern. Use this table to convert rips to bends and vice versa.
- 完成鈑金模型 - 關閉 (停用) 鈑金模型;建立特徵清單中的特徵。
