Sheet metal limitations

[SiW979]

Hello

Is creating a model like the one attached to this post beyond the limitations of sheet metal when it comes to either unbending the part, or creating a flat solid?

Many thanks in advance.

Life shouldn't be measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of times when it's taken away...

Not at all. The part is not complex.

The "sheet metal" is designed for only press brake parts.

If you only had 1/4 of that part it could do it - Then mirror the flat pattern a couple times to get the theoretical flat pattern.

Simon,

This is probably very much considered either cheating or a compromise that is less than ideal, but it gets you a result.
