Typically a bend table file contains a bend table for each sheet thickness that is used.
Bend tables for sheet metal materials.
This is done through the application of force on a workpiece.
Typically a bend table file contains a bend table for each sheet thickness that is used.
A bend table file can contain multiple bend tables as long as the tables are for different materials or thicknesses.
You can also use individual gauge tables and bend tables.
This is the seventh and final article in a series highlighting what s new.

A great tool available to solidworks sheet metal users is the sheet metal gauge table in this table users can configure a microsoft excel spreadsheet to represent the appropriate sheet metal wall thickness based on material and gauge values.
We go beyond the general rules of sheet metal bending as our customers want tight bend radii for sheet metal parts.
Since aluminum deforms differently than steel a separate bend table file should be created for each material type.
See sheet metal gauge table and bend table overview.
We are here to help.
Since aluminum deforms differently than steel create a separate bend table file for each material type.
A bend table file can contain multiple bend tables as long as the tables are for different materials or thicknesses.
If a specific bend angle or bend radius is not in the table the flat pattern analyzer interpolates between adjacent cells to determine a value.
Typically a bend table file contains a bend table for each sheet thickness that is used.
Determine your minimum bend by measuring the distance from your closest feature i e.
The tables below show bend radii and minimum bend sizes for materials and tooling combinations stocked by protocase.
It is possible to choose other bends if you require but additional lead time and tooling charges may apply.
A bend table file can contain multiple bend tables as long as the tables are for different materials or thicknesses.
Sheet metal gauge bend tables store properties for a designated material.
Choose a bend radius that matches your minimum bend.
A single table lets you associate a bend allowance bend radius or k factor with any combination of thickness bend radius and material.
About bend tables for sheet metal materials a bend table specifies the bend allowance for a specified material thickness at specific radii and bend angles for the flat pattern analyzer.
Nx12 has been a well received release from sheet metal users.
