Avoid deformations and other distortions

Holes, slots or cut-outs can be deformed when positioned too close to the bend line. For best practices on how to avoid deformations when bending near cut-outs, read our guide: "Best practices: positioning holes, slots and cut-outs away from the bend line". If repositioning is not an option, check our solutions below for minimizing and reducing deformations.
