I am trying to bend a curved flat sheet of steel - I have attached the shapr3d mode, here as well as a photograph of the prototype in the workshop. Can anyone help me with how to do this please?

Not sure if this is the curve you needed . If so this might help.

You can modeling more complex shapes with a simple technique. Just like in the pictures below. :slight_smile:

Thanks for all your help with this project. I followed the fantastic tutorial video and I don’t know why I didn’t think of that! It’s obvious when you know how isn’t it?

So here is the curved sheet.

I have some more design work to do and will share the progress.

Thanks again.
