I have shown above the main stages we go through in creating a simple folded sheet metal box in 3D software, develop the flat pattern and tool it ready for CNC punching. The stages are taken in producing a programmed part ready for CNC laser cutting and we can swap parts from machine to machine to suit the design of part and importantly to suit the flow of orders on any particular machine. Most of these stages are only a few clicks of a mouse so a component as simple as this can be developed ready for CNC punching within a few minutes with the correct cut size to bend back up to the box required. We use Radan sheet metal software for this process being one of the best you can buy.
