Re: Sheet Metal Design

Paper is a great way to teach sheet metal, since it is cheap and easy. Design something using 5 thou thick material in Solidworks, make a drawing, print it out, cut it out, and then put it together. Last year we had a sheet metal paper bridge competition and had students CAD up a bridge, build it, and then we had a competition.
