Complex Sheet Metal Forming
Complex Sheet Metal Forming
(OP)
Are there any sheet metal gurus out there that could recommend how to form a C-Channel type arm rest with the front two-thirds of the channel angled downward approximately 8 Degs. (Without any secondary welding operations.)

"Berkshire" I may be able to do a drawing operation on the metal and trim the edges....it will probably end up being a secondary operation (or at least the part would need to be turned in the die).....as long as it's cheaper than welding, it might be worth a shot.
Equally difficult will be trying to convince SolidEdge to make a sheetmetal part that looks like this. Thank goodness for surfacing.
