Sheets and parts can be created using CAD tools in VisualCAD or can be imported as Dxf, Dwg, Rhino, IGES.
Sheets are the 2D, closed geometric shapes that represent the raw stock material. These sheets could be rectangular or any arbitrary shape, but may not contain holes within their periphery. |
This refers to shapes to be produced that are cut from the sheets. They are selected as 2D, closed shapes or 3D solids. Parts may have cutouts within their periphery. |
