Re: Advice - First Sheet Metal Frame
One other thing to double check is your "k" factor for your bends in your modeling software. The aluminum actually stretches as you bend it. This will affect your flat pattern and tolerances of the formed (bent) pieces.
A quick way to double check is through simple bend deduction or bend allowance calculations. Again, check with your manufacturer and make sure everything is good. Last edited by tim-tim : 17-01-2013 at 23:12.
