Aīend can be characterized by several different parameters, shown in the image below. Bent partsĬan be quite small, such as a bracket, or up to 20 feet in length, such as a large enclosure or chassis. A bending operation causes deformation along oneĪxis, but a sequence of several different operations can be performed to create a complex part.
Bending is a metal forming process in which a force is applied to a piece of sheet metal,Ĭausing it to bend at an angle and form the desired shape.
