RecommendationLow springback — standard tooling should work

How to Use This Calculator

Enter the desired final bend angle (degrees).
Set material thickness and inside bend radius.
Enter yield strength (MPa) and elastic modulus (GPa) from the material data sheet.
Review the springback angle (degrees) and the overbend angle to use in the press brake program.
Test a sample part and measure actual springback -- adjust the overbend angle iteratively for tight tolerances.

How the result changes with Desired Bend Angle

Desired Bend Angle: Target bend angle after springback.
Material Thickness: Sheet metal thickness.
Inside Bend Radius: Inside radius of the bend.
Yield Strength: Material yield strength (mild steel: 250, stainless: 450, aluminum: 150).
Elastic Modulus: Young's modulus (steel: 200,000, aluminum: 69,000, copper: 117,000).
