What to specify when ordering

Send a formed drawing and a 3D file if available. Mark the datum for hole positions, finished leg lengths and any slot that controls assembly adjustment.

Highlight holes close to bends, tight inside clearances and surfaces that cannot accept tooling marks. Specify whether dimensions apply before or after coating, and check assembly fit on the first sample.

Frequently asked questions

Should dimensions reference the flat blank or formed bracket?

Give the dimensions that control fit on the formed part. If you supply a flat pattern too, state which document controls if a dimension conflicts.

How close can a slot be to the bend?

Feasibility depends on sheet thickness, inside radius and tooling. Show the exact location and flag any slot edge that must remain straight after forming.

How should I call out coating and masked areas?

Specify finish and appearance, then mark threads, grounding surfaces or mating areas that need masking. State whether hole and slot sizes are checked after coating.

When does a bent bracket make sense compared with a stamped part?

A cut-and-bent bracket can suit changing designs or smaller batches. For repeat volumes, compare geometry, tooling, unit cost and inspection requirements before choosing a process.
