Abstracts: In this project report, we have designed the 3- roller bending machine to bend plates up to 4 mm thickness and also provided a special feature on the rollers to bend pipes of circular cross section. Here, the plates and the pipes are bending in the space in between the 3- rollers of the machine. There are two parallel rollers which are rotating by means of gear motor and chain drive mechanism. They are rotating at the speed of about 20 rpm. And the linear velocity for the chain in 0.042 m/s. the material which is to bend is taken into the contact of these rollers and is bent by means of the third roller which is at the centre position above the two parallel rollers which are given up-down motion as require by means of the studs provided with the upper roller.All the calculation of design is shown in this project report. And this project report also consist of the basic knowledge on bending machine and the literature review which we have referenced for this particular project.
