Air Bending Sheet Metal - The names given to each method may sound unusual at first, but as you’ll see, both names actually describe each bending process perfectly. The punch tool will press the material towards the bottom of the die, making three contact points as it does so: Web air bending works by bending a sheet metal blank with a punch and die. One on the punch and two on the die, one on each side of it. Web air bending and bottom bending are two of the most common methods used to create bends during sheet metal fabrication. Web air bending is called air bending because a gap is left between the sheet metal being bent and the bottom tool when the sheet metal is at its full bend depth.
