What's New in C3D Modeler: Swept Flanges in Sheet Metal
The C3D Modeler geometric kernel adds a new method in sheet metal, the swept flange. We began development of this method following many requests from users of our C3D Toolkit, but divided development into several stages. For now, the first stage is done. Let us describe it. To make a swept flange...
