Abstract
Sheet metal bending is a frequently used metal forming process in modern manufacturing industries. During bending, springback effect has to be considered in order to obtain the desired part shape. In the past couple of decades, traditional trial-and-error procedures in manufacturing industry are significantly replaced with computational techniques such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA). In this paper, bending tool design for a complex part with four bent sections is presented, which is based on a systematic iterative FEA approach. The simulations of the bending operations and the required tool design are accomplished computationally and verified through tests in an industrial plant.
