The emboss looks mint! I think instead of pre-stretching, you may have considered annealing the emboss section of the sheet before pressing. It would have reduced the residual forming stresses. However a problem I experienced with annealing and pressing with the PLA is that the PLA is actually hard enough to transfer the print imperfections and details into the annealed al sheet when it bottoms out. So whilst you gain formability and ability to impart definition, it is also more sensitive to being overdone.

As a sheet metal fabricator of 20 years that coach builds cars, you did a fantastic job and did it the exact way I would have done it today. You got amazing results, achieved your goal, had fun doing it. There is about 5 different ways you could have achieved these results, and you chose a great method, no sense in doing it the harder way. You should be very proud of the beautiful panel you have made and without tooling marks too. Welcome to the metal shaping community!

The only thing I'd change is the amount of pressure I used on the press. As I did several of the dimples, I found the aluminum very easy to work with, and would form with little pressure. I think me putting too much pressure on the Z and the first dimples contributed to the warp in the panel. I think the design of the dies worked incredibly well though and I'm still very happy with the results!

This was really cool!!!! I never would have thought about using 3D printed plastic for stamping aluminum, or any other metal for that matter. When you're doing a project like this and only have one piece to work with, BUT, you also know the material, and the thickness. In this case, you're working with aluminum, so you can go to your favorite big box hardware store, or maybe even to a scrap metal yard if you have one of those close to you, and get a piece of aluminum the same thickness as what your final piece will be. You can even get a few pieces to experiment with rather than trying to figure everything out on your own. This would eliminate any possibility of you accidentally messing up what will be your final product.

That sounds sick! CAD gets easier the more you do👍

Wow! I had no idea you could do this with 3d printed molds. Awesome job.
