90° Bend Flat Pattern Calculator

Calculate flat pattern blank development length for sheet metal bent at 90° angles.

Choose profile type:
  • Angle
  • Channel
  • Zigzag
  • G-profile
  • C-profile

Enter material thickness S and bend radius R from the dropdown lists, then enter flange dimensions A, B, C, D, E. Click Calculate.

Thickness S: mm
Radius R: mm

Calculation Formula

Flat pattern blank development length is calculated as:

L = L₁ + L₂ + ... + Lₙ + n · Lᵢ

where L₁, L₂...Lₙ are straight flange section lengths, n is the number of bends, and Lᵢ is the bend allowance length:

Lᵢ = (π / 2) · (R + x · S)

where x is the neutral axis shift factor (K-factor based), selected according to the R / S ratio.
