Frequently Asked Questions
Minimum inside bend radius is typically equal to the material thickness. For 0.125" aluminum, minimum radius is 0.125". Tighter radii risk cracking on the outside of the bend.
K-factor describes where the neutral axis is located in a bend. It affects flat pattern calculations. We account for K-factor based on material and thickness to ensure accurate final dimensions.
Yes, but holes should be at least 2x material thickness away from the bend line to avoid distortion. We'll flag any issues during design review.
Springback is when material partially returns to its original shape after bending. We compensate by over-bending slightly. The amount varies by material - stainless springs back more than aluminum.
We don't recommend it. The coating will crack at the bend. It's better to bend first, then powder coat. We offer both services and can coordinate the sequence.
Minimum flange is typically 4x the material thickness, but varies by tooling. For 0.125" steel, minimum flange is about 0.5". Contact us for specific requirements.

Bend Types
Air Bending
Most common method. Material doesn't fully contact the die.
Best for: General purpose, most materials
Bottom Bending
Material contacts the die at the bottom of stroke.
Best for: Tighter tolerances, consistent angles
Coining
Maximum pressure compresses material into die shape.
Best for: Highest precision, sharp inside radii
Minimum Flange
Minimum flange length is typically 4x material thickness. Contact us for special requirements.
