In Lesson 4 of our bending series, Jake breaks down how the punch and die work together to create bends, what short flange length means, and why getting that three-point contact is important to have a successful bend. He also walks through how deformation happens between die lines and what that means for your parts.

Jake shows you what to look for when ordering bent parts through SendCutSend. Our system automatically flags potential deformation zones during the upload process—giving you the chance to modify your design or proceed with awareness of possible imperfections. It’s all about helping you achieve precision, consistency, and clean results with every part you create.
