"Kina" stamping ?
"Kina" stamping ?
(OP)
Imagine you have a flat 3 mm sheet metal and you want to press it from the near side, 25 mm dia x 1 mm deep, so on the far side you will get 25 mm dia x 1 mm hi "bump".
Later the part will be bent here and there (not through the "bump") so I would like to use the Sheet Metal Toolbar.
At this moment I make that "bump" by "adding" Extruding 25 mm dia x 1 mm deep on far side and Extruding-Cut (same dims) on the near side.
I wonder if I could do any better than that.
Thanks.

Getting "kina"
The problem is that I would like to have the "forming" tool overlapping ("over-extending") one edge, but I am getting errors.
I could have the sheet metal larger than needed, do the forming within the boundaries of the plate (no error in that case), then trim it to size - "kina"
Wondering if I could do it in one shot, with forming tool "overlaping the edge" of the sheet metal, that is tool would be partially forming metal and partially "forming" the air.

Right now I switched to Deform - things look much better ...

Checkout the help on Sheetmeal forming tools. Also, there should be some samples in the Design Library "Sheetmetal Forming Tools". Dimples, Louvers, etc.

RE: "Kina" stamping ?
Looks like both of you fellas are right ... Deform (Surface) looked great for a while till I realised that the sheet metal is deformed not only "locally" but "globally" - the "rest of the sheet metal is NOT "flat" anymore - could not make a bent for example ...
Uffff ....
