The K-factor is the bending capacity of sheet metal, and by extension the forumulae used to calculate this.[1][2][3] Mathematically it is an engineering aspect of geometry.[4] Such is its intricacy in precision sheet metal bending[5] (with press brakes in particular) that its proper application in engineering has been termed an art.[4][5]
