Sheet Metal Details
(OP)
Hi all,
Just wondering where I could find some examples of detailed sheet metal parts. I'm detailing these sheet metal parts but my experience is elsewhere. Any good references or common detailing practices for sheet metal?
Thanks in advance

Are outside or inside dimensions critical?
Are all features critically positioned from an edge or in groups from each other?
Do the parts have holes or features which are to be punched before or after bending?

Tighter tolerances are achievable, but will definitely be more costly.
