Re: pic: Sheetmetal 6WD
That bend radius table does not remind me at all of what we use at work. I would recommend following JVNs advice and talking to the sheet metal shop you intend on working with. They will have a few parameters that you will have to follow, including minimum flange size (which is a pain sometimes, but hey, part of sheetmetal design).

If you design the sheet metal style properly in inventor, it will calculate the bend allowance and everything else you need automatically. I don't know how to do this, but I believe there is a tutourial.
