FORMING, TOOLING AND REVISIONS / FIELD NOTE 33
Comparing Forming Routes for Double-Curved Panels
Compound curvature may be achieved by different forming methods or by dividing a surface into simpler parts. The suitable route depends on shape, quantity, sheet requirements and the desired finish.
What to check on your project
Compare the proposed route using a representative shape and the approved visual criteria. Ask for expected tooling, setup and inspection scope and confirm whether segmentation changes the visible joint pattern.
