SheepMetal
Plugin for sheet metal: unfolding, bend detection, and rules built in
A Grasshopper plugin for Rhino that handles sheet metal work: it identifies faces, finds the bends, and unfolds parts using angle-dependent K-factor models. Built for production, not concept work.
- Identifies faces on sheet metal geometry
- Finds bends automatically
- Unfolds parts using angle-dependent K-factor models
- Adjacency graph for working with complex shapes
- Handles hole patterns that cross multiple flanges
- Runs in parallel on larger models
