What is k factor in sheet metal fabrication.
Mathematically k factor is a ratio of position of neutral axis and sheet thickness.
Bend line shift bls the distance from the outside mold line to the original bend line on the flat pattern this is used to calculate the backstop location when working off of a flat pattern.
Creo sheet metal tutorial sheet metal bracket 1 in creo parametric duration.
As sheet metal parts are flattened or formed if you start with a flat state pro sheetmetal utilizes a y factor to allow for the fact that metal is elastic and stretches as it bends.
Value of the k factor depends on material bend radius sheet thickness and machines used.
