Bending, at its core, is a manufacturing process that deforms ductile materials, most commonly sheet metal, into a desired shape, such as a V-shape, U-shape, or channel, along a straight axis. This fundamental process underpins a vast array of objects and structures we encounter daily, from the chassis of a car to the structural beams in a skyscraper. Understanding the principles of bending is crucial for anyone interested in fields like mechanical engineering, materials science, and manufacturing.
