Abstract

In modern manufacturing, optimization of sheet metal bending operations is critical to improve product quality and reduce cost. This research focuses on the design and analysis of die-punch combinations using both Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and experimental validation. Using SolidWorks for CAD modeling and ANSYS for FEA, we simulated bending operations using a CNC press brake (EHP 110 Servo Hybrid) for varying sheet thicknesses of Mild Steel (M.S.) and Stainless Steel (S.S.). The study investigates springback, stress-strain behavior, and influence of punch/die geometry. Results show that S.S. requires approximately 35–36% more bending force than M.S. for the same conditions. The optimized parameter selection improves process efficiency and product accuracy, significantly reducing trial-and-error in tooling.
