Part folding how to calculate Actual size Folding How to calculate Total Length.

Question

Accepted Answer

To calculate actual size folding and total length in part design, use formulas based on material thickness and bend angle.

For calculating actual size folding, use the formula: Actual Size = Material Thickness x Tan(Bend Angle)
For calculating total length, use the formula: Total Length = (2 x Bend Allowance) + (π x Inside Radius x Bend Angle/180)
Ensure to convert the bend angle from degrees to radians when using trigonometric functions
Consider the material properties and tooling constraints when determining the bend allowance
Example: Material thickness = 1mm, Bend angle = 90 degrees, Inside radius = 2mm
