- Base Flange
- Edge Flange
- Miter Flange
- Sketched Bend
- Jog
- Hem
- Closed Corner
- Corner Relief
- Lofted Bend
- Convert to Sheet Metal
- Flatten
- and other essential tools.
You'll also learn how these features work together to create accurate, manufacturable sheet metal components while following efficient design workflows.
