Below is a modelling project I had to do for my current placement job. My company manufatures electric fires most components/parts are made from 0.9mm Sheet metal. I've taken a picture of a product thats been out awhile - I was to take this model and measure every inch to reproduce a 3D model in solidworks using sheet metal modeling.

This Job is complete but thought id share my WIP as some people might find sheet metal modeling intresting

Thanks rusteberg!

@macray - The company does have a solidworks 2007 commercial license which they purchased through NT CADCAM, I bought myself the student license for home use and learning purposes as no inhouse training was available at the company.
