Sheet Metal Design Handbook?

[fiebigc]

Forgive me for not asking a question not directly related to Pro/E but I was hoping to leverage your sheet metal design experience.

Does anyone know of a really good handbook for sheet metal design? You know something that is a reference for sheet metal thicknesses, tolerancing, material properties, and sheet metal forming operations.

Thanks.

This isn't much but it will help you understanding Sheet Bend Allowances.

Not CAD related, but I highly suggest this reference.

The Last post was intended to give you the basics of bend allowance.


This is "ProE related" (Wildfire 2.0)

Here are a couple of good sheet metal design guidelines from Dayton Rogers. They'll even send you samples. http://www.daytonrogers.com/designassistance.aspx

This is very useful basic information.
I hope this will be useful:
