Bend Allowance Calculator

Free bend allowance calculator for sheet metal: thickness, inside radius, angle, and K-factor to compute bend allowance, outside setback, and bend deduction with scenario rows.

Bend Allowance Calculator | BA, OSSB & Bend Deduction

Fabrication note: This bend allowance calculator gives layout math for press-brake planning. Real flat patterns still depend on tooling, tonnage, grain direction, springback, and your shop’s empirical bend tables.

Summary: Enter material thickness, inside bend radius, bend angle, and K-factor. The tool returns bend allowance (BA), outside setback (OSSB), and bend deduction (BD) with scenario rows for tolerance and setup changes.

Bend allowance calculator (sheet metal flat pattern helper)

Built for intents like bend allowance calculator, bend deduction formula, sheet metal K-factor calculator, and flat pattern bend math.

Formulas used
  • BA = θ(rad) × (R + K × T)
  • OSSB = (R + T) × tan(θ/2)
  • BD = 2 × OSSB - BA
