Creating Expanded Metal Mesh - Inventor Forum

For more information, please visit our website.

There are textures and color styles available in Inventor to "fake" expanded metal, without actually modelling it.  Unless there is a specific reason you need the real geometry, I'd recommend using them (modifying as needed) to create your mesh.  I used a sketch to create some geometry to use as a guide for scaling the texture to achieve the size I wanted.

Cutting the real geometry uses up a lot of memory, so don't do it unless you really need to.

If you need accurate weights, you can create a material style with a density that produces the average weight of the material (which you should be able to get from your supplier, probably in lb / sq ft).

I've set this up for a couple of our commonly used sizes (will add more as needed).  I've attached one as an example.  This version is set up for #9, 3/4" flattened expanded metal.  I've also changed the primary color of the texture to Red (from the default Gray version), since most of our equipment is painted red.

Perforated metal sheets, also known as a perforated screen or perforated metal, are made up of coils of stainless steel, aluminum, or mild steel.

That has been uniformly or mechanically stamped or punched using laser cutting or CNC technology to create a variety of holes, shapes, or configurations.

Galvanized steel, cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, brass, Monel, steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, plastic, etc. are materials used to produce perforated metal mesh.

These metals have different designs, due to the use of various molds, and are commonly used in industrial applications and decoration, screens, ventilation, etc.
