Qiusseppe,
Sure. The pressing process is a cold process. nothing is hot. The copper is annealed and in this case 28 gauge thin.
I'm pushing it with 20 tons of force at my disposal..it moves. I cut the Plexiglas die with a jewelers saw. see pic 4-4 the Male part of the die is made slightly smaller on a belt sander. You can click on the thumbnails and they will get bigger. They can be made bigger still by using the magnifying glass toolbar bottom right. 150% makes them easier to see. These are not renderings..these are real pcs. Fold forming is using the way metal behaves and folding to rapidly create forms. It was developed by Charles Lewton Brain in the late 1980's. . I use the press in FF to create creases and as a vise. I also use at times a break a rolling mill and the usual hammers and anvil. I'll be very happy to post more pcs. Brad It's what I do.
