Rapid Fire Opinion

• 3D printed forms for sheet metal pressing?
  • Sort of Worked...
  • Interesting to see the progress but it still required a mill to get a usable form
  • With more experimentation and proper design of the part to be bent this could be a real option
  • 3D printed tool punches as well
