CALCULATORS / MANUFACTURING

Sheet metal, forming and wire

Specified bend geometry and calibrated material/process factors.

angle, thickness, inside radius, K-factor → bend allowance, bend deduction

flange dimensions, bend definitions, bend allowance model → developed blank length

material strength, thickness, bend length, die opening, process factor → forming force estimate

geometry, material data, measured process response → candidate overbend, uncertainty

cut perimeter, thickness, shear strength → cutting force, work estimate

cup geometry, material, thinning assumption → blank diameter, draw ratio

wire section, bend radius, yield stress, tool arms → bending moment, force, outer-fiber strain

feed speed, part length, cuts per cycle, shaft speed → parts/min, required feed and cut timing

section, thickness, bend radii, pass schedule assumption → strain indicators, length allowance
