Let’s Get Bent: The Practical Side of Sheet Metal with Precision Bending and Calibration

Presentation Slides

Video Recording

Session Abstract

This session provides an in-depth exploration of the physics behind press brake operations, machine calibration, and how it all connects back to the SOLIDWORKS sheet metal module. You'll learn how to extract precise bend radii and k-factors tailored to your specific setup, significantly enhancing the accuracy of your parts. SOLIDWORKS offers straightforward tools to make this process easy, and we'll cover how to use them effectively. I’ll also bring sample coupons from our press brakes so we can walk through the exact measurements and techniques together.
