3D SHEETMETAL CREATOR
3DEXPERIENCE ROLE

CREATE PRODUCTION-READY SHEET METAL DESIGNS WITH A POWERFUL, BROWSER-BASED SOLUTION
Bring products to market faster by streamlining the design of complex sheet metal components, assemblies and enclosures
for manufacture.
OVERVIEW
3D SheetMetal Creator is an intuitive, browser-based solution that offers associative parametric sheet metal design capabilities tobuild components, assemblies and enclosures. Its specialized, all-in-one 3D sheet metal design environment helps you streamline
how you create, store, share, validate and manage designs, and bring sheet metal products to market faster. Built on the cloudbased 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, 3D SheetMetal Creator stores design data securely in one central location and works seamlessly
with the design-to-manufacturing, data management and collaboration solutions on the platform.

CAPABILITIES OF THE 3DEXPERIENCE PLATFORM
With its growing solution portfolio and secure cloud technology,
the 3DEXPERIENCE platform enables you to manage all
facets of your product development process while reducing
infrastructure costs, IT overhead, software maintenanceand complexity. All 3DEXPERIENCE solutions work together
seamlessly, simplifying data management, sharing andcollaboration across your entire business ecosystem. 3D
SheetMetal Creator can take advantage of the following
platform capabilities:• Store all your design data in a centralized, secure location in
the cloud.

• Improve design productivity by using the sheet metalspecific feature set and context toolbars such as walls,flanges and corner reliefs.
• Work entirely in a web browser, giving you the freedom todesign anytime, anywhere, with no need for installation.
• Utilize an intuitive single-modeling environment to convertfeatures to components, and components to assemblies,
making enclosure assembly design more flexible and efficient.
• Rapidly create and iterate designs in a matter of clicks,
avoiding the assembly structure constraints and upfront
planning required by traditional CAD applications.
• Create complex 3D sheet metal models for press brake
manufacturing, and automatically generate 2D patterns
that update instantly with the folded geometry.

• Manage the lifecycle of any type of content—such as 3D
design files, simulation models and documentation—acrossdisciplines and CAD applications.
• Streamline data management with built-in revision control
and branching.
• Navigate tabular and 3D design data simultaneously, andeasily validate the differences between two product structures.
• View, share, annotate, discuss, visualize and manage designs
from any device with a web browser.
• Intuitively toggle between platform solutions, such as 3D
Creator and 3D Sculptor, to design complex assemblies thatinclude a variety of design types.

• Utilize existing mechanical or electrical assemblies asreference geometry to model enclosures and easily insert
commercial, off-the-shelf items into sheet metal assemblies.
• Bring in 3D data from SOLIDWORKS®, CATIA®, Solid Edge®,
Inventor® and STEP and IGES to complete your assemblies.
