Press brake manufacturers have made tremendous advances in the art of machine design and manufacturing.
Fighting springback in profound radius bends
When bending sheet metal, three terms apply to the radius of the bend: sharp, radius, and profound. A sharp bend has a radius less than 63 percent of the material thickness.

This article presents those rules.
