Metal Bending Design Guidelines

It is essential to follow several design guidelines to ensure that your metal parts are optimized for both functionality and manufacturability.

Bend Radii. The minimum bend radius can vary depending on the materials, you can view our metal bending guide to view the minimum bend radius reference chart. It is recommended a minimum bend radius equal to the thickness of the sheet.

Bend Relief. The length of the relief must be larger than the radius of the bend, and the width should be at least equal to the material’s thickness.

Bend Height. The bending height should be at least twice the thickness of the sheet metal plus the bending radius.

What is Metal Bending?

Bending is a type of metal deformation done in manufacturing for getting specified shapes or angles, basically performed with machines like the press brake that uses controlled force upon the metals for bending them at specific angles or curvatures. It is ideal for parts requiring precise, repeatable bends. Metal bending is able to ensure the strength and accuracy of the finished product by carefully controlling factors such as bend radius, angle, and material thickness.

Advantages of Metal Bending

Precision and flexibility. Modern CNC bending technology ensures that each bend is made with exact accuracy, maintaining consistent dimensions and tolerances across all parts. This is so important for meeting the most demanding specifications.

Strength and durability. Bending is a process that does not compromise the material‘s strength; therefore, the final product is structurally strong, with resistance to wear and tear over time.

Cost-effective. Metal bending, particularly with high-volume production, would negate the need for further processes like welding or assembly, which has to do with bringing down general production costs.
