Building a Stapler - Anvil

Posted on August 31st, 2008 in Design Tutorial, Models, Sheet Metal, SolidWorks, Stapler by The SW Geek

On Friday, I went over the procedure for creating the forming tool for the stapler anvil. Today, as a special Sunday post, I will go over the rest of the anvil. The anvil will be made as a sheet metal component so we can use the forming tool that was created on Friday.

Building a stapler - Arm Bracket (Forming Tools)

Posted on August 8th, 2008 in Design Library, Design Tutorial, Models, SolidWorks, Stapler by The SW Geek

After missing a week, I am finally back with a new design tutorial. Two weeks ago we started building a stapler with the first part of the assembly, the base. This week, I will be building the arm bracket which is a simple sheet metal component. After today, you will be able to make a simple sheet metal part and a simple forming tool. A forming tool is used like a die to bend, shape and form sheet metal. The arm bracket and the two forming tools, we will be using, can be downloaded here: Arm Bracket, Stapler (304).
