Donation Sponsor

$5 $10 $25 $100 $200 Other

If you are not sure or not able to commit to a regular donation, but still want to help the project, you can do a one-time donation, of any amount.

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate one time only.

We call sponsoring the act of donating money recurrently to the FreeCAD project. You can do that as an individual or as a company or institution, through different channels or platforms, depending on your preferences.

Sponsoring FreeCAD allows its developers to count on a steady flow of income, so it allows the FPA to plan things ahead, and the FreeCAD developers to invest themselves more seriously into FreeCAD.

To encourage persons and companies to sponsor the FreeCAD project, we have created different sponsoring tiers. When donating regularly to the project, unless you prefer to stay anonymous, your name, company name and/or logo will be featured on this website, depending on the tier you fit into:

♥ Normal sponsor : from 1 USD / 1 EUR per month. You will not have your name displayed here, but you will have helped the project a lot anyway. Together, normal sponsors maintain the project on its feet as much as the bigger sponsors.
🥉 Bronze sponsor : from 25 USD / 25 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page.
🥈 Silver sponsor : from 100 USD / 100 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page, with a link to your website, and a one-line description text.
🥇 Gold sponsor : from 200 USD / 200 EUR per month. Your name or company name and logo displayed on this page, with a link to your website and a custom description text. Companies that have helped FreeCAD early on also appear under Gold sponsors.

Instead of donating each month, you might find it more comfortable to make a one-time donation that, when divided by twelve, would give you right to enter a sponsoring tier. Don't hesitate to do so!

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate each month.

Please inform your forum name or twitter handle as a notein your transfer, or reach to us, so we can give you proper credits!

SheetMetal UnattendedUnfold

Description

The Unattended Unfold command unfolds a sheet metal object.

This command is not available by default, see Notes.

If the parent body of a selected planar face has been subject to unfolding before, this command will skip the menu in the task panel. Otherwise it will show an error message asking for either \"set a Manual K-factor\" or \"use a Material Definition Sheet\".

With the first use of the Unfold command the parent body\'s label received a suffix (such as _material_0.5din) and after that it is ready to be used with this command.

Usage

Select one planar face of a sheet metal part.
There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the Unattended Unfold button.
- Select the Sheet Metal → Unattended Unfold option from the menu.
- Right-click in the Tree view or the 3D view and select the Sheet Metal → Unattended Unfold option from the context menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: U.
An Unfold object will be created.
Optionally adjust the parameters in the Property editor.

Notes

To make this command available, first enable Engineering Mode in the preferences. Go to Edit → Preferences → SheetMetal → General Settings, and set Engineering UX Mode to {{Value|Enabled}}. Changing this preference requires a restart of FreeCAD.

Properties

Limitations

See Unfold for limitations.
