Edge-bent sheet metal

Hello please, is it impossible to create a fold on a shelf?
Thank you

Hello

No, it is not possible without doing a sophisticated laser cut and in any case welding.

In general, we extend the wing if you only have one, it's simpler and we weld.

Hi all

Here is an example of a play that partly answers the pure question.

I have it in 2010 version if necessary

After that, from a cost point of view, it is easier to add a small piece of part and solder it.

It's a walkthrough but it has a certain cost

and asks for a laser cut

a readdition of sheet metal is + flexible + fast - expensive

Hello@gt22

Totally agree with you.

That's why I mentioned the cost and the walkthrough you are talking about  :-)  :-)

Hello everyone and thank you 
@zozo_mp I agree with you but the problem with this solution is it what it holds? robust? because I'm going to use it for fixing.
and here is a picture with another solution give me your opinion and thank you

We do it like that and in one piece with industrial tools...

@ac 427 cobra But I don't think it works with mass production

It depends on the quantity to be made. You still have the option of making a tool for a press and doing so via stamping.

Hello anischarfeddine01

The last photo you posted is not good because there is an impossible fold.

 

In summary 3 solutions

You do as

- I indicated special laser cutting + bending + welding

- As several of us have indicated, you just add a piece of part and once welded it is as solid as any stamped part, especially since there is no particular effort in this place.

Or you do a stamping but it's scabrous because everything else is deformed and it requires tools that cost twelve 1/2 fortunes. In addition, it requires a huge amount of know-how, especially depending on the depth (To be avoided unless you do 568 per hour)

The other question is, do you make your large radius by crunching or via a large radius tooling? 

really it's a sheet metal chassis of a machine so we're going to do it with bending not stamping
