Therefore, tube bending is used so the tube can be reshaped as a whole, without cutting the tube itself.
However, straight tubes are not usable for many purposes, and they often need to be shaped and bent at different angles. Tubes have higher structural integrity as compared to other metal shapes. Each method comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and price point. There is no fixed way to bend a tube, there are many different options available to accomplish it. Tubes formed out of the tube bending process are not limited to any particular metal, the process works on different materials including most metals and alloys. Tube bending is the metalworking process of bending tubes and pipes into various shapes for different metal fabrication purposes.
