Design notes for bend radius, flange height, hole distance, and relief features in fabricated parts.
Design notes for bend radius, flange height, hole distance, and relief features in fabricated parts.
A good starting point is an inside bend radius close to the material thickness. Smaller radii may need process review.
Hole distortion increases when features sit too close to a bend line. Add relief or move the feature when possible.
For self-clinching hardware, include the hardware type, installation side, and any pull-out or torque expectations.
