## Description

FirstBend is setup memory for press brake shops. When a part comes back, open it and see exactly how it was set up and verified last time, instead of searching notebooks or asking around.<br><br>FirstBend is a setup record, not a calculator. It does not compute tonnage, bend allowance or K-factor. It keeps the values your operators actually used and proved on the machine.<br><br>SAVE EVERY SETUP BY PART AND REVISION<br>• Organize jobs by part number and revision<br>• Record the machine, program number, material and thickness<br>• Record punch and die tooling, including the V-opening<br>• Add the target angle, flange and backgauge for each bend<br>• Attach tooling photos so the next operator sees punch and die orientation<br><br>RUN AND VERIFY THE FIRST PIECE<br>• Step through each bend on the first-piece check<br>• Enter the measured angle and flange and see the deviation from target<br>• Log an attempt and re-test, or mark the bend as passed<br>• Add notes such as springback observations<br><br>KEEP A GOLDEN SETUP<br>• Save an operator-confirmed setup as a Golden Setup for future runs<br>• Copy a proven setup into a new draft for the next run<br>• Mark a setup as Deprecated when tooling, machine condition or material behavior changes, and keep the history<br>• See which setup belongs to the current production revision<br><br>SHARE AND BACK UP<br>• Generate and print clean PDF setup sheets for the shop floor (FirstBend Pro)<br>• Export a ZIP backup of parts, revisions, setups, attempts and tooling photos, and restore it later<br>• Records stay on this device unless you export or share them<br><br>PLANS<br>The free version stores up to 3 parts. FirstBend Pro is a one-time purchase that adds unlimited parts and PDF setup sheets. No monthly subscription.<br><br>WHO IT IS FOR<br>Press brake operators, setup technicians, shop leads and small sheet metal fabrication shops that run repeat jobs.<br><br>IMPORTANT<br>FirstBend records setup data entered by operators. It does not determine whether a setup is safe, compliant or suitable for a job. Operators are responsible for verifying tooling, machine limits, clearances and shop requirements before running a part.
