This document elaborates on the core concepts required for calculating bend deduction, including Bend Allowance, K-Factor, Outside Setback, material thickness, and inside bend radius. It provides clear, step-by-step guidance and calculation formulas (BD = 2 x OSSB – BA) to help fabricators accurately determine the flat pattern length. Additionally, the document discusses various factors influencing the calculation, the use of bend deduction charts and calculators, and demonstrates the practical value of this technique in industries such as automotive and aerospace.
