3d printed press brake tooling. 1 hit 180 degree bend 

If there are high surface finish requirements when edge bending/press brake, the Swedish product Tribotextil™ can be applied in the bending/pressing tool and mechanically protect the sheet metal from scratches and other damages. Tribotextil™ is an extremely thin and very strong textile that in this process replaces lubricants in the tool.

Ha! Nice. Suggested nearly this exact concept to someone trying to make wooden and 3D printed dies a few years ago. He didn't go for it, but figured it'd work.

I love this stuff!! For me a huge production run is 10 parts, I need to try this.

That's pretty cool.

Awesome!

Brilliant

Did you post the .stp files for making this tooling? Thanks!

That kind of tooling could work well with DiAcro style benders too.

Do you have any stl files for this?

Are you a manufacturer? I have a piece I need to bend like this
