System and method of manufacturing a structure

摘要

The system and method of the present application can include machining complex part features in a flat metal sheet (401), and subsequently forming the machined flat metal sheet to have the desired shape and contours. Prior to the step (303) of machining the complex part features, the method can include (311) calculating a scaled location of the complex part features so that the subsequent forming step (305) acts to translate and deform the complex part features into a desired location.
