Hey guys,
So I designed a part intended to be fabricated from laser-cut steel and bent into final shape. I don't own a Brake yet and I've never specced out a design to be bent to final shape.
My concern is that the way the bend is intended to be made, if any Brake is even capable of doing the bend due to clearance issues since the metal is only bent at certain places (I know finger Brakes can do this) but the sections intended to be left unbent are on both sides of the bend line. It's hard to describe this problem and that last sentence was probably confusing, so I'll include a render that should explain it a lot better:
