Bend Design Guidelines
Surface Finishing & Value Add Options
To ensure manufacturability and consistent results:
Minimum flange height: ≥ 2 × material thickness
Minimum hole-to-bend distance: ≥ 2 × material thickness
Avoid bending directly across slots or perforations
Relief cuts are recommended for tight internal corners
We can assist in optimizing flat patterns for production.
Edge deburring / rounding
Brushed finish (for stainless steel)
Shot cleaning / rust removal (mild steel)
Powder coating (through partner finishing)
Hardware installation (PEM fasteners, studs, inserts)
Material Specification Support
If you are not sure what thickness or grade to choose, our team can guide you based on:
loading/strength requirements
indoor vs outdoor environment
corrosion resistance needed
cost vs performance tradeoffs
