Hello,
I am very new to CAD design and have designed a 3 dimensional tube, for a race car subframe, and am having a very hard time transfering the design measurements into real and useable information to bend the metal.
I know how to get the dimensional information from each bend angle, but I do not know how to get the rotational angle from 1 bend to the next.
bend 1 is 151.2 deg (see photo 165602)
Bend 2 is 142 deg (see photo 165620)
but the part itself is 3 dimensional which requires the tube to be rotated (see photo 165718)
So my question is, How would I find the degree of rotation for the tube for the second bend?
Thanks for any insight.
