Configuring Bends for STEP/STP File Parts
1. Upload your STEP/STP file to SendCutSend’s website, confirm your design’s units (inches or millimeters) and choose a material that is eligible for bending services. Please see our Bending and Forming Design Guidelines if needed.
2. After you select a material, your flanges may automatically preview as bent using definitions you saved when designing your part. We recommend expanding the Bend dropdown to double check and confirm that all definitions are correct.
Once you have confirmed the angle and direction for all definitions, click Done. Then click Next!
4. You’ll then see that bending services have been added, so the definitions have been configured and saved for your parts.
5. If everything looks good, click Add To Cart!
6. You’ll see that bending services are included for your parts. You can review and revise your service configurations for parts anytime before checking out by clicking Bending on the line item.
