This study performed to optimized the bending process of AISI1020 steel, 1060 Aluminum alloy, Duranickel alloymaterial sheets using bend testfor ‘V’ shape punch tool. The stable deformation takes place on the sheet metal strip as a result of severe plastic strain. One of the major issues in the sheet metal bending process is that the formation of spring back during unloading. This study involves design of experiment and finite element analysis to understand the bending behavior of sheet metal. The elasto-plastic behavior is studied by parametric numerical simulations. The static mechanical behavior metal sheet is investigated for various materials to achieve its correlations. The systematic approach is carried by developing FEM analysis of threepoint bending of sheet metal
