Default Bending help please

Anybody here have press brake experience? I was to start with 3x3x.375
6061-T6 aluminum Tee extrusion, 4 inches long, and bend up the top of
the Tee on each side 30 degrees. So the part will then have a Y shape.
Can 6061-T6 be bent that much without cracking? And how much tonnage
should the press be to do this work?
Thanks,
Eric
