Hello,
I've a bit of hiccup using form tool in sheet metal. if you can see from the pictures i have done punch one over another but what i want is a punch like in the part in the attached pdf how to do so.
I want one punch over another without deforming the first punch
Any help is appreciated. and can anyone explain Diff Between Die form and Punch form in creo
Thank you

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, In modelling terms if you really wanted this to happen then this would need to be a single tool.
The biggest issue I can see is that in my experience is that 6-7 mm is the maximum depth of feature that can be punched in turret punch/press. The feature is also very long at over 245mm so again you would need a very large tool unless it is nibbled in. In my opinion you can't make this component as it stands.

just think of the punch being the male form and die being the female form.
