Prisms

Carré droit

Right square

This right square is flattened only usign inside dimensions.
It is recommended for metal sheets up to 3 mm thick.

For thicker sheets, it is advisable to use the square shape with radius, which takes into account the bending radius according to the press die used.

You can set between 1 and 4 welds at the indicated locations by clicking on the corresponding check boxes.
The welding gap will be automatically subtracted from the flattening layout.

MetalFox generates flattening layout of this shape free of charge, compute its weight according to the material as well as the lengths of the welds.

Carré droit plié

Straight square - Bended

The right square with radius lets you take into account your bending process in order to generate the most accurate flattening layout.

Indicate your dimensions as well as the bending radius corresponding to your press die. Indicate whether you are working with internal or external dimensions. Be careful, the radius is also to be specified in internal or external dimensions.

You can set between 1 and 4 welds at the indicated locations by clicking on the corresponding check boxes.
The welding gap will be automatically subtracted from the flattening layout.

Rectangle droit

Right Rectangle

This right rectangle is flattened only usign inside dimensions.
It is recommended for metal sheets up to 3 mm thick.

For thicker sheets, it is advisable to use the shape with radius, which takes into account the bending radius according to the press die used.
