In the sheetmetal tab we need forming and punching tools for the easy function of punching holes for standard electronic components or custom components, plus we need the standard vent punches for air ventilation in the sheetmetal enclosure designs. 😁

The other item that will need to be located in the sheetmetal tab is the forming tool from sketch.
Instructions
- Place a sketch (Square or rectangle with fillets on the corners).
- Push the wall of the sheet metal with the sketch and add taper and depth of the push, but make sure the designer is not able to over push the raised surface flange in the sheet metal design to an item that is not possible to manufacture. (Remember they need taper and the forming radii that will not rip the material for the calculations) (See below)😋
