The Problem

Re-entering K-factor every time isn’t a workflow — it’s a liability.

Every time you switch materials or tube sizes, most calculators make you look up and re-enter K-factor and springback. One wrong number and your parts are scrap. FabEngineer Pro stores those values per material and OD — and loads them automatically.


✓
K-factor stored per material + OD
Set it once. Every time you select that combination, it loads automatically.
✓
Springback compensation built in
Add springback in degrees. It factors into your overbend angle automatically.
✓
Multi-bend sequences
Add bends one by one. Running developed length updates after each bend.
✓
Export to Linear Part Nester
Push cut-length results to the nester to optimize your stock usage.

Bend Allowance Formula
BA = (π / 180) × Angle × (R + K × T)
R = bend radius (CL)  ·  K = K-factor  ·  T = wall thickness
How It Works

Set your material once. Calculate every bend from there.

1

Select Material & OD

Choose material type and tube OD. If used before, K-factor and springback load automatically from your saved library.

2

Enter Bend Sequence

Add each bend angle and straight segment length. Running developed length updates after every entry.

3

Get Results & Export

Total developed length, per-bend allowances, and straight segments. Push cut lengths to the Linear Nester with one click.

"The DXF estimator alone saves me 30 minutes per quote. I used to trace cut lengths by hand — that’s not an exaggeration. This tool pays for itself in the first week."
