Anyone use a bend planning / visualization software?
Fusion 360

Fusion 360 works great - just remember to use the bend radius override in the program to fit our die expected radius, and set the bend reference point to be the middle of the bend so you have an accurate line to measure reference points from. The default values for both of those in fusion 360 will be wrong.

Sam,
It would be great to have notes about this in the pdf that has the other details about each of the dies. That way folks don’t have to search in multiple places to get complete information needed when using CAD software that allows for design to mold dimensions and then flattening to proper, adjusted dimensions for cutting.
