2d to 3d solid

[squirrel_41]

Hi every one hope  you are all well its been a long time since I posted here but I need some help so thanks in advance.

I am trying to reconstruct a solid from the supplied 2d drawing I can get it very close but it is not correct.

Basically it is a mudguard laser cut from 3mm plywood it has slots cut in it to allow it to be wrapped around  the corners.

I am only working on 1/2 the guard as the other 3 parts will just be mirrored.

The problem is with the side that has the curve on  when I cut the solid with the 2d profile the faces are not at right angles to each other  like they would be if laser cut.

I have tried for days and I cannot find a solution.

I am attaching a cut down version 2017 mcam file.

You can try to make a surface and trim your solid to the surface. Your surface will need to extend past the solid. Possibly a Swept surface along 2 rails.

I made a quick video showing the idea.

Wow I would not have tried that thank you very much .

I did make a surface and a solid along the same face as you did but that's as far as I got I have downloaded your video and I am now going to try your method it looks great , again thank you very much.

Okay that worked great I just had to make a small mod to the curve if you look from the top it did not match the original 2d drawing but it was just a matter of moving the front cut profile to the left 0.15mm so the profile intersected the first edge curve then cut the solid with the new profile and create a new edge curve.

again thank you very  much I have learnt so much more just from you'r short very well done video
