Creo Parametric - Sheet Metal - Die Forms

[@drewstowell5926]

These punch and die videos have been a great help to me in building a new sheet metal model. Is there a way to make a "tool" that can form the sheet metal in two directions at once? For instance, I have a real-world tool that puts an embossment into a sheet in an oval shape, centered around a circular hole. The thin ends of the oval are on the y axis, with the x axis running through the middle of the circle. The embossment angles the material 12.5 degrees off flat in both the positive and negative z axis direction, about the x axis. Is it possible to create a single Creo tool for this, or would I have to run the same tool twice, but mirrored?

you need to understand the process of bending sheet metal and the rules involved before you can determine "if a tool can be made to do everything at once" the answer to your questions is ....Depends.... do you care what the part looks like? are you holding tolerance? what material is it? what sort of tool holding are you using (press)..

@@user-ig6ob2tg5p I understand the process just fine. As I stated, the tooling exists, I want to know if I can replicate it in Creo.

Sir can we perform die forming on tubular parts...like crimping of tubular parts?

Good question. I don't know. I recommend reaching out to your PTC rep.
