FREE K-FACTOR & BEND CALCULATOR

Calculate bend allowance and bend deduction.

Enter your known K-factor and bend geometry. Use the result for estimating and flat-pattern checks, then verify against your actual tooling, material and bend table.

Bend inputs

Bend allowance = angle in radians × (inside radius + K × thickness).

Calculated bend values

Bend allowance4.147 mm
Outside setback3.600 mm
Bend deduction3.053 mm
Neutral-axis position0.640 mm
K-factor is not universal. It changes with material, thickness, bend radius, tooling and process. Use a proven shop bend table or test bend for production-critical flat patterns.
