Model grooves on 8/10th sheet metal

Hello Community,

As a front door manufacturer, I have to model all our models so that my colleague can make 3D renderings in Visualize.

What tool would you use to represent the grooves on our panels knowing that I know the toolpath?

Indeed, the deformation is carried out by a punching tool (ball) with a displacement of the sheet metal to obtain lines, curves...

Thanks in advance! ;)

With a stamping tool this should be feasible (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWe4NPgwY4o)

Or else just do a material removal by scanning to simulate the groove.

Thank you for your answer @sbadenis.

With over 300 models to model, I'd like to avoid creating 1 stamping tool per door...

Is it possible to create a stamping tool (ball) and apply the deformation along a path?

To be tested maybe can we configure the length of the stamping tool? with a family of rooms where you will create the lengths you need. Otherwise deformation with a ball I don't see how else to simulate it.

I just discovered this too  (deformation) I didn't have time to see how it works but it should do the trick:
