In sheet metal forming, enclosed volumes of air can become trapped between the forming tools and the metal sheet during a press run. As the tools close, this air is compressed, potentially causing forming defects, surface marks, noise, tool wear, or process instability. To mitigate this, shop floors apply venting: drilling vent holes in the tools to allow air to escape. Today, vent placement is largely based on technician experience and trial-and ...
