Lances

The Lance GCD Type includes one or more Lance GCDs, each representing a slit in the sheet metal requiring no material loss. Usually, a lance lies on a form. Lances are rarely, if ever, made by themselves. Normally, they occur next to a form to make design features such as louvers or bridges. Lancing and forming are usually done at a single die. These GCDs are available for the Sheet Metal process group. The GCD details include:
