Hi everybody,
First time posting here, I hope somebody can help!
I would like to design a simple aluminum bracket, say the plate measures 1/8" (thickness) x 1.5" (w) x 10" (L). If I section off 3" of the plate, I can either bend it 90 degrees to form a right angle or twist it 90 degrees. Which of the two options, bending or twisting, is easiest/cheapest to produce, or are they both the same? I don't want to design a part only to find out I could have saved heaps of money if I had altered the design. I don't know what's involved in either process, so any suggestions or comments would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Mark
