Spectacle Case (Sheet Metal)

grabcad

A spectacle case made of sheet metal (stainless steel or clearly varnished brass).The thickness of the sheet metal is 0,35 mm.All parts of this model has been created in the first step as volume models and in the second step converted to sheet metal models.To reach accurate dimensions for a multiple bended model is this the better way for sure, but a constant wall thickness of the solid model, bending gaps and outer and inner bending radii are required. Otherwise a flat pattern is infeasible.Two mats mate of foam (0,4 mm thick) are pasted into both sheet metal parts to protect the spectacles glass.Close the bending gaps of the cover and housing, increase the thickness of the wall, place some more increased radii on edges and corners and - may be- you will get a suitable model for3D-printing.Available 3D-data:STEP-file of the complete assemblyFiles in the native data format for users of »Creo Parametric 2.0«
