I was thinking about this for a while, but I am not familiar with capabilities of sheetmetal manufacturing.
Could you, or anyone else, elaborate on what types of places flanges can be made on a part like this? I wanted to add flanges on some of the inside pockets but wasn't sure if that was easily possible. Like I said, I'm looking to learn about this as much as possible.
Thanks.
