Airbend Pro

About this app

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.

What’s new

Added Settings page to allow for choosing display mode (System, Light, or Dark) and to automatically select all text with a text field gains focus.

Fixed a bug where the app name and version were not showing in the About page with a release build.
