Abstract: The global drive toward intermediate technology and sustainable development motivated the development of sheet metal rolling machines for small-scale artisanal manufacturers. Hence, aim of our project to develop and design a portable sheet bending machine which is useful to bend a sheet into cone and cylinder shape. It reduces human effort and also requires less skill to operate this machine. This machine works on simple kinematic system instead of complicated design. This machine can bend up-to 4-5mm thickness of sheet. Due to its portability it can be used by small workshop or fabrication shop. It is widely used in various industrial operations such as bending a sheet in required shape & size. In this project, designing a portable sheet bending machine, our objective is to increase accuracy at low price without affecting the sheet bending productivity.
