3-Roller Bending
Note: The 3-Roller Bending process is deprecated as of aPriori Release 2014R1 and will no longer be supported in a future release. It is replaced by the 2-, 3-, and 4-Roll Bending processes. More specifically, 3-Roller Bending was introduced in Cost Model Version 40 and is now replaced by the new Roll Bending models in Cost Model Version 60. If you currently use 3-Roller Bending, you should plan to move to one of the newer processes as soon as possible.
