Re: pic: First attempt at Sheet Metal Chasis please give advice to help me improve

It definitely looks good.

Like Joyride said, you may want to leave a bit more material in the front and back pieces. I would also suggest replacing the cool curves with straight edges. It makes bending the pieces easier. You could also have a smaller bend radius. I believe our sponsor uses .09 inch on the things they do for us.

I recommend sitting down with your sponsor(or whoever is going to be fabricating the pieces) and going through your design with them. They will be able to tell you what they are capable of doing.

Also, examine other team's CAD and see what they have done.
