solidworks help
Hi everyone. Im designing a sissy bar for my motorcycle. I am wanting to put my company logo across the top. Problem is im self taught in solidworks and have met a road block. I dont know how to get it on the curve of the top. Ive attached a pic of the sissy bar and the font im wanting to add. How can I sketch and get it to match the curve?
thanks in advance

Are you manufacturing this as a finished piece, or are you doing it flat, then bent to shape? That to me seems the best route. Is your machine even capable of such axis control?

It will be made as a flat piece cut from .25" SS. Then bent to shape. I am not sure how to flatten this part out in SW to design it.

Solidworks should have a feature to bend. you might need to start over with that in mind. I haven't gone that far into it myself. If it were me, I would either look in the book or find a forum that caters to solidworks. I will do just that next semester, If it gets this deep.

Ive been pondering taking some classes for this at the local community college here. I think it will help a lot. Ill try to do some more searching on specific forums and see what I can come up with.

you can use the deform tool with two reference sketches to bend the logo.
