Prioritize structural rigidity through pressed ribs (h≤2mm for 1-3mm materials) to reinforce long panels.
Optimize bending sequences for simplified fabrication, avoiding complex 3D geometries by adopting modular welded/bolted assemblies.
Select appropriate stiffener profiles from standard tables to enhance load-bearing capacity while maintaining material efficiency.
For thin-gauge components (thickness <5% of length), implement edge-flanging techniques to counteract transverse bending weaknesses.
Ensure compliance with sheet metal DFM principles: minimize weld seams through unified bends,
standardize fastener positions (M4-M8 studs), and maintain ≥R1.5mm internal bend radii.
This approach balances manufacturability, weight reduction (15-20%)
