How to roll sheet metal into a tube.

We have a lot of parts that we will get as a flat sheet stock then we roll it 360 degs and weld it to create a tube. Any chance nx will be adding a rolled feature into the sheet metal application. If you want to roll sheet into tube and don t have a slip roller or don t want to buy one then you could always make a sheet metal roller first. If you have any other suggestions on how to go about rolling.

When sheet metal is inserted between two such rolls the urethane wraps the sheet metal tightly against the steel roll similar to a radius forming urethane press brake die and since the urethane roller is driven the sheet metal is roll formed into a precise radius. Cut out your cone template from the sheet metal using your tin snips then file the edges smooth to avoid cutting yourself or someone else with the cone. Step 5 roll the template into a cone shape overlapping the sheet metal by 1 2 inch then drill a few holes along the seam and seal it closed by placing rivets in the drilled holes. Sheet metal is there away to roll or bend 360 degs.
