Hi,
this week I researched why our material is not bending the way Kevin had anticipated. Therefore, it means our material is not the exact same product as the old heat-treated ALU 6061, despite it saying so. I also prepared the metals for cutting - we have cut about three so far until we realized our lengths might be slightly off.
This week, I will try to figure out why our material is not reacting according to Kevin's calculations despite the specs being the same as the previous year's material. The newly obtained thicker material are over-bending and the thinner material are under-bending. If we cannot figure out why, Kevin would need to create dies that are rough to the radius we need - therefore, they will not be precise and be a huge consumption of our time.
