BEND FEASIBILITY. TOOLING ACCESS. FORMED PART.
Metal bending is suited to brackets, channels, panels, boxes and other formed parts whose flat pattern can be sequenced around tooling access. Press-brake work can be reviewed up to 320 ton, 3200 mm bending length and 10 mm maximum thickness, subject to material, geometry and bend sequence. The review considers bend radius, flange length, hole-to-bend distance, return bends, springback, grain direction and cosmetic surfaces before the part is formed.
From Your DrawingMATERIAL OPTIONS
Material and thickness influence bend radius, springback, grain-direction sensitivity and the tooling sequence. Review those factors with the flat pattern rather than treating the final angle as the only requirement.

Forms into lightweight panels, covers and brackets while maintaining useful corrosion resistance.
SURFACE FINISHES
Identify cosmetic faces, grain direction, protected surfaces, hardware locations, joining zones and interfaces that must remain suitable for assembly before the bend sequence is planned.

BUILT FOR DEMANDING PROJECTS
The flat pattern must make room for the tools and the previous bends. The review therefore considers access, sequence, material behavior and the dimensions that matter after forming.
State material and thickness with the intended bend radius so formability and springback can be reviewed.
Identify short flanges, channels, boxes and return-bend geometry because each can affect tooling access and bend order.
Show holes, slots, cut-outs and hardware near bend lines so their clearance and formed relationship can be reviewed.
Identify grain direction where relevant and protect visible faces through bending, handling and later finishing.
Call out bend locations, critical flange dimensions, assembly interfaces and cosmetic requirements in the drawing.
A CLEARER PATH TO YOUR PARTS
The route begins with the approved flat pattern and plans the bend sequence around tool access, springback, return bends, holes near bends and the operations that follow forming.
Provide the flat pattern or 3D model, material, thickness, quantity, bend requirements, finish, hardware or joining needs, delivery target and inspection requirements.
Review bend radius, flange length, holes near bends, box or channel geometry, return bends, grain direction, cosmetic faces and required tooling access.
Press-brake work can be reviewed up to 320 ton, 3200 mm bending length and 10 mm maximum thickness, subject to material, geometry and bend sequence.
Check drawing-defined bend locations, flange dimensions, hole relationships, cosmetic faces and functional interfaces. No universal bend-angle tolerance is published.
Schedule from the approved drawing, material, bend sequence, hardware, joining, finish, quantity and agreed delivery terms.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Inspection is planned around the approved flat pattern, bend sequence, formed dimensions, cosmetic faces and functional interfaces that matter after bending.

FROM PROTOTYPE TO PRODUCTION
Timing is planned after the material, thickness, flat pattern, bend sequence, tooling access, downstream operations and inspection scope are agreed. No fixed bending lead time is published.
Review bend access, springback-sensitive geometry, cosmetic surfaces and formed dimensions before the route is fixed
Plan material, thickness, bend sequence, hardware and finish around the approved drawing
Review quantity, joining, finish, packaging and drawing-defined inspection requirements before scheduling
