Could you build this?
Partial The UI and saved-job workflow are vibe-codeable, but bend safety checks and tonnage calculations need verified machine-specific data and engineering validation to be trustworthy in a shop.
What it would actually take: Build a web or desktop app with a tooling-inventory database, a bend-allowance and tonnage calculator based on standard V-die formulas, and QR-linked inspection records. The hard part is validating the calculations and safety rules against press-brake manufacturer specs and standards, which requires a sheet-metal engineer or fabrication expert.
