You would be cheaper to make it 3 pcs and use the bracket for afixing the
3. The reason is that the parts can then be cut on a waterjet or laser, at
very low cost, including tight location holes. When you get into bending,
you cannot put the tight tolerance holes in prior to bending, because of
tolerance stack-up. This makes fixturing for the holes to be put in later a
difficult task. The savings would more than pay for a snap-in plastic
corner strip to cover the sharp edges.
I would re-think it along these lines Tim.

You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.
