Hello again all,
I am tasked with reverse engineering control arms for utvs. What I basically need to do is reverse engineer the arms, draw them in SW, and then create flat pattern dxfs, I will be making these in sheet metal. Here is a example picture of a stock arm that would be reverse engineered.
So these tube arms will be basically boxed sheet metal, like a 3D puzzle.
What I am curious about is the best way to go about this, I was looking at the weldment function, but I'm not sure that will work out. So I think just making a 3D drawing into a assembly. And then I need to make each piece, which will be bent in the assembly into a flat piece. If that makes sense.
Any other Ideas?
Thank you.
