Example: Step Bend a Conical Surface

Sheet-Metal Design

  1. First model the basic shape of the conical surface.
    Figure 1: Basic shape of the conical surface.
  2. Copy the face on which you will perform the step bending. Select Remove Original Geometry when copying the face. Just the copied face will remain. Copy a Face
