Hi all, I have a question concerning costs for different manufacturing processes. I'm a rather fresh ME, so please bear with me. I am concerned with the cost of manufacturing the bracket depicted in the attached image. I am looking for the lowest cost option to manufacture the bracket from 3/16" thick, 4" wide, low carbon steel.
In general, which would be lower cost: bending a single piece of steel sheet, or welding 3 pieces to form the bracket. Is there a lower cost option than those aforementioned?
Thanks for your help, and please let me know if I left out any pertinent info!
