Which are your preferred sheet metal workflows?

Hi All,

Today we offer different ways to create a sheet metal component.  We can start the sheet metal component from scratch by creating a base flange and then adding other (sheet metal) features, we can create the sharp cornered geometry and then insert bends and we can create a solid body and convert it into a sheet metal body.  Perhaps you have a mixed approach or perhaps you have other workflows different from my proposals?

Now I am wondering, which is your favorite workflow and why you are using it this way?

So I really would appreciate if you could share your best practice sheet metal workflows with me.

Thank you a lot in advance for your additional business.  I really appreciate your time and effort.

Kind Regards
