The Convert to Sheet Metal feature is a new tool available in SolidWorks 2009 that allows you to quickly create Sheet Metal parts from an existing solid model. Click on the link below to see this new tool in action.
The voice over is getting better….still some room for improvement though!
Stay tuned….more to come!

I have tried it on a few different parts and the results look really good. I have not used it in a production environment as of yet, but do believe it is a stable tool. This tool opens up a whole new thought process of creating sheet metal parts. If you check out the What's New document, it also has some applications with imported parts. I'll try to cover that aspect of the tool in a later post.
Thanks for reading!

I wonder if the concept could be extended to include a flattening of simple pressed parts by least squares.
P.S. It does sound a little like you have sheetmetal underpants but at least there's no heavy breathing with it this time ;) - or maybe you took that out? :D
