In this video I show more techniques for 3D printed sheet metal press forming tools. I improve over my previous designs by making a tool with a moving action as well as fixing a major design flaw. I also demonstrate a more complicated forming operation with many features made in one pressing.

These videos usually take a ton of work and a lot of money in tools and materials. I've made a patreon if you're interested in supporting the creation of these projects: www.patreon.com/stuffmadehere

BRO! I print a ton of tooling for sheet metal and castings but your little dual-barrel hinge thing is sooooo clean!! I'm totally stealing it. thanks man. I owe you one. Thanks for teaching me.

When you're cutting them out, start the plasma arc in the middle of the waste material and then move to the cut line. That should give you a cleaner cut.

Dad comes in: So, Stuff Made Here, you got that part to fix my $20 tool yet? Stuff Made Here: Sure, here's a few hundred of them.

For highly complex parts, you should consider creating (I forget the technical name) holes in the bottom of the dye that can be used to push the part off the dye, like whats used in plastic injection molds. Youd have to add another part to the dye to plug the holes for the release pegs, but I think it would save alot of time removing parts from the dye. Really cool work!

When you showed how the part was it's own spring I said "oh that's so cool!" out loud, and now my wife thinks I'm even more boring.

I've worked for almost 7 years in sheet metal manufacturing. I find it impressive how close to actual tools and methods you are getting with what I assume is no or limited prior knowledge of sheet metal. Your rotary benders are extremely close to commercially available ones.

I used to build stamping dies for a small shop. Those rotary bits are what we call ready benders. Very handy features

This is honestly incredibly valuable for the 3D printing / machining community. Thank you for doing all of this work for us!

I like that videos like this pull all the industry professionals out of the woodwork. They always give good tips. Super cool video!

When I used to work in a factory while going to college, forms were often two steps. However the way they got around that was to have two parts pressed at a time. The result is that you’re getting one part per press. The complex dies often had a mechanism that “ejected” the part by pushing the part up from the bottom, which helped when transferring part one to part two in the die set. Even complicated dies involve multiple steps. If you’re mass producing, at a minimum you want one part per press. Good video!

These are the kind of videos you can like in the beginning, because you know they'll be good enough for a like anyway.

it's amazing you use a hydraulic press, which usually presses or flattens things to give your items a more 3D shape

As someone who works as a Tool and Die Maker this is very inpresive when it comes to how fast you picked up and corrected your mistakes ! Good Job! And maybe see if you can get some Ejectors of some sort :)

These videos are some of the highest quality, most in-depth, and most watchable engineering videos on YouTube. You cannot change my mind. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THESE YEARS? Keep em coming!

I found part 1 and 2 of this series fascinating! I have a 3D printer and have really enjoyed learning how to design things in CAD and then print out stuff that's useful I can use around the house or in my car. Once again, excellent content; you earned a new subscriber.

My professor told me spring membranes are formed like this in production. Nice to see some video similar to it. I had initial doubts about the soft plastic forming the much harder steel
