[QUOTE="1968falconxt, post: 460114, member: 11897"] I 3D model everything in solidworks and it has a package specifically for sheet metal. It works out where material needs to be added based on bend radius and material thickness (I am using an internal rad of 1mm on 2mm thick aluminium). The laser cutter I use runs an offset to compensate for holes so they don't come out slightly undersized too. The software is great but it doesn't always get things perfect. Hopefully this weekend everything lines up when I start assembling [/QUOTE]
