## What is Airbend Pro?

Airbend Pro is a tool that will perform calculations for bending precision sheet metal on modern press  brakes.  There are many apps for calculating standard sheet metal bending information, but what makes Airbend Pro unique is that it will provide bending calculations specifically for air bending.  (Airbend Pro will also provide the standard bend information if the "Bend Type" is set to "Bottom Formed")

Inputs:
  Material Type
  Material Thickness
  Bend Type
  Bend Angle
  Inside Bend Radius
  Bend Width
  V-Die Radius
  V-Die Width

It will provide the calculated v-die width on the entry screen to help determine the proper V-Die Width

Outputs:
  Actual Bend Radius
  Bend Deduction
  Bend Allowance
  Tonnage
  Setback
  Outside Setback
  Minimum Flange

The results can be shared from the output screen.

Math formulas are allowed on the entry screen
Example
2.5 millimeters to decimal inches (2.5/25.4)
3 feet to decimal inches (3x12)
3/16" to decimal inches (3/16)


Coming soon:
1.  Reverse engineer bend deduction, bend allowance, and actual inside bend radius from a formed test coupon
2.  Flat layout calculations and export to DXF.

Any feedback or requests for additional calculations or information is greatly appreciated.
