Hi guys,
I've been introduced with a new problem, and I want to ask If anyone had a similar one. I have to design a punch and die assembly for a sheet metal part that has some sort of foam fixated on it. Is that foam glued before the punch or is it put on by a separate tool/assembly. Also, what is the offset between the punch and the die in this situation. Do I go just by the thickness of the sheet metal, or the sheet metal with the foam, or something in between. I'll provide a picture of the part here.
Thanks in advance Attachment 448642
