is it possible to bend up two adjacent sides of a sheet metal box using a press brake and have them meet at the corner?

Of course. Segmental top dies. May need to be long.

A cheat is to fold out the corners and reposition them when you are finished. Brake at the end of the dies so you only have two corners to reform.

Make sense?
