Sheet Metal Flat Pattern & Bend Plan

We unfold your sheet metal part into a flat pattern using the right K-factor for your material and thickness. We set the bend order so the part can actually be formed, and prepare a press-brake setup table with the bend parameters. You receive the flat pattern as DXF or PDF, the bend plan and a material usage report. Two revision rounds are included.

Who it is for: Fabricators and product makers who need parts that cut and bend correctly with no trial and error.

What's included

✓K-factor and bend allowance for your material and thickness
✓Flat pattern unfolding
✓Bend sequence that avoids collisions
✓Press-brake setup table
✓DXF or PDF output for direct use in fabrication
✓Two revision rounds

What you receive

→Flat pattern drawing (DXF or PDF)
→Bend plan with order and angles
→Press-brake setup table
→Material consumption report

Not included

·Making the parts
·Tooling or die design
·3D modeling or CAD files beyond the flat pattern
·Machine-specific G-code

About this service

What do I send?

A 3D model or drawing of the part with material, thickness and bend radii. Tell us your press brake and tooling if you want the table matched to them.

Which K-factor do you use?

We choose one for your material, thickness and bend method, or use yours if you have measured values from your shop.
