How to make a sheet metal drain pan.

This is the last sheet metal project i assign in my level one manufacturing class. Bending the corner on drain pans. The critical dimensions for my grill are the overall width of the pan and the size and shape of the tabs that. I won t be making an exact replica but rather a basic v shaped pan from cut folded and welded sheet metal.

It would be nice to have a dimpling procedure in sheet metal similar to sheet metal punch tools that create feet or other punched forms that do not actually cut a hole in the sheet metal face. Drip pans are normally made in a giant hydraulic press that forms a single piece of sheet metal into a shallow pan like shape. This is the first multiple part project my students work with in class that they will have to assemble together.

It also shows how selection of each will work for the customer s application.
