Re: Team 4466 - Corner Riser Design

I like the bracket in the first version . If you needed it to be stiffer you could add a tack weld to keep the flanges from separating if there is a twisting load. When forming the flanges there are a couple of different ways to get the final bend. There is air bending with a 89 deg die and and coining with a 90 deg die. It all depends on the material type and the minimum bend radius for the material thickness.
