Which metal bending technique suits your part?

Four techniques in short

Roll bending suits large radii and long lengths. Stretch bending gives accurate curves with a clean surface. Mandrel bending keeps hollow sections round in tight bends. Induction bending makes tight radii possible in heavy steel.

How we choose

We look at the drawing, the tolerances and the finish you need. Often more than one technique is possible, and then cost and lead time decide.

Short answer
The right technique depends on the radius, the section, the material and the number of parts. We choose per part, not the other way round.
