✦Design Guidelines✦

Design for Dimple Forming

Design for the die and the material.

D

Dimple Diameter

Standard dies: #6, #8, #10, 1/4". Custom sizes need a new die — adds lead time.

C

Clearance

Keep dimples ≥ 2× material thickness from any edge, hole or bend line.

T

Thickness Limit

Dimple forming works best up to 2 mm. Thicker sheets may crack or require annealing.
