Overview

Simple Bends to Complex Configurations

Whether it's a single 90° bend or a compound multi-plane configuration, we work directly with OEMs and manufacturers to get it right. Process, material, tolerances. Our engineering team collaborates with yours upfront so there are no surprises on the production floor.

With nearly 2,000 die sets already in inventory, we can skip the weeks-long wait for new tooling that slows down other shops.

What We Run

Over 20 Machines. Send Us Your Specs — We Figure Out the Rest.

Our floor runs both CNC machines for compound, multi-plane bends and NC machines for single-bend applications, covering round tube and pipe from 3/8" to 10" OD. Four of our CNC machines feature stacked die sets, enabling multiple bend radii in a single setup for tighter consistency and reduced setup time.

Non-round profiles (oval, square, rectangular) may be available depending on your application — talk to our engineers.

Nearly 2,000 Die Sets in Inventory

Nearly 2,000 die sets across a wide range of OD, wall thickness, and CLR combinations. If a setup exists for your part, we can often go straight to production. No lead time burned waiting on new tooling.

What's a 1D bend? A 1D bend has a centerline radius (CLR) equal to the tube's outer diameter. It's the tightest standard radius available. Here are our current 1D tooling sizes:

Common Questions

Tube Bending FAQ

CNC bending handles compound bends (multiple bends in different planes on a single tube), while NC bending is used for single-bend applications. Both deliver precision results; the difference comes down to part complexity. You don't need to specify which process you need. Just send your print and we'll determine the best approach.
A 1D bend has a centerline radius (CLR) equal to the tube's outside diameter. For example, a 1D bend on a 3" OD tube would have a 3" CLR. This is considered the tightest standard bend radius. Tighter bends (below 1D) are possible in some cases but may require special tooling or mandrel support. Check our Bend Die Matrix for specific tooling availability.
Yes, we can bend customer-supplied material. We'll need to evaluate the tube specs (OD, wall thickness, material grade) to confirm compatibility with our tooling and ensure we can hold the tolerances your part requires. If you'd prefer us to source the material, we can handle that as well.
For standard tooling, we can achieve 1D bends (centerline radius equal to tube OD) across a wide range of sizes. Tighter radii may be possible depending on material, wall thickness, and tube diameter. Check our Bend Die Matrix or request a quote with your specs.
Lead times vary based on complexity, volume, and material availability. For standard bend configurations where we already have tooling on hand, turnaround is significantly faster than shops that need to fabricate dies first. Request a quote with your specs for a specific timeline.
Yes. We support the full lifecycle from prototype through production. Our prototyping capabilities let you validate form, fit, and function before committing to production quantities.
