Wrap

Wrap takes shapes or text drawn on a flat sketch and wraps them round a round face of a part, like a label round a can, then raises them out of the face (emboss) or cuts them into it (deboss). Use it for a name round a pen, raised letters on a bottle, a pattern cut into a handle or a logo on a round box. It works like Wrap in SOLIDWORKS and Onshape and Emboss in Fusion.

Wrap is an Advanced tool. To put a picture on a face without changing its shape, use Decal.

How to use it#

1. Make the part with a round face, such as a can: a circle on Top, extruded.
2. Start a sketch on a plane that runs along the round face, such as Front for a can standing on Top. Draw the shapes, or use Text, where they should go: across from the face, at the height you want them.
3. Click Wrap. The round face the shapes are drawn across from is found for you; click another round face to wrap onto that one instead.
4. Choose Emboss (raised) or Deboss (cut in), and type the Height or Depth.
5. Click ✓.

Tips#

• The shapes go on the side of the face you see when you look at the sketch. A shape drawn 30 mm across from the middle of the face ends up 30 mm round the face from there, so the lengths stay the same, like a label.
• The shapes can go at most half way round each way. A shape as wide as the face's way round (π × the diameter) goes right round.
• On the wall of a hole, emboss adds to the wall (into the hole) and deboss cuts into the wall.
• For lettering, a bold font and a height or depth of 0.6 to 1 mm print and machine well.
• Wrap works on the mesh engine; a part wrapped is not exact any more, so add it after fillets and other exact features.
