    Bending 1/8" stainless steel cage

    Ideally this will not be able to be hand bendable. It really needs to be strong enough to take a hit. Here's something like what I'm looking to do. Not exactly this, but it will give you an idea. http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e221/hroark2112/?action=view&current=Hexgrille.jpg

    Bending 1/8" stainless steel cage

    I'd love to say I'll need 1,000,055. That's likely a pipe dream. Ideally, I'd like to be able to fabricate them as they are needed. I have a local water jetting company that will do 5 at a time for a very cheap price (cutting).

    Bending 1/8" stainless steel cage

    Good evening! I am planning to make a cage from 1/8" stainless steel flat plate. The plate will be cut with a water jet. After it is cut, I will need to bend the cage to conform to the front of a helmet. The overall dimension of the cage will be roughly 6" wide by 12" long. What is the...

    Looking for information on the best combination of materials to use

    Yes, I'm looking for sources for information, and want to research the newer materials to see if they are suitable. I'm looking for impact absorption, stiffness, fracture points, things like that. What I'm looking to make is along the lines of a catcher's mask. It is going to take impacts in...

    Looking for information on the best combination of materials to use

    Good afternoon! I'm working on designing composite masks, and am looking for some sources to research some of the newer materials out there and their potential use in my application. I'll be working out of a small (OK, call it home!) shop, and have been researching the obvious so far...
