SheepMetal
Grasshopper plugin for rule-based sheet metal logic
About SheepMetal
SheepMetal is a specialized Grasshopper plugin for Rhino that encodes sheet metal logic. It classifies faces, detects bends, and generates unfoldings based on defined K-factor models. The goal is a traceable and consistent translation from geometry to fabrication-ready sheet metal data.
Features
- Face classification for sheet metal geometries
- Automated bend detection
- Unfolding using angle-dependent K-factor models
- Adjacency graph for evaluating complex topologies
- Handling of multi-flange hole patterns
- Parallel evaluation for larger models
