Stretch forming and bending process

Different types of bending and stretching methods will produce different results. We help our customers understand their differences and provide valuable advice on the best bending or forming solutions for their products-while achieving the strictest tolerances in our industry.

Stretch forming

For various product applications, stretch forming aluminum profiles are very common.

Marine industry: ship portholes, windshields and structural components

Medical industry: C-arm of electronic medical imaging machine

Automotive: structural and decorative parts

Our fully programmable 32-ton stretch forming machine is capable of forming curved aluminum parts up to 288 inches long. If this sounds like a solution to meet your product development needs, please contact us for more information.

bending

From simple bends to more complex custom extrusion bends, we are able to bend the material to provide the desired bend or curved aluminum shape, which is one way we provide you with higher value.

Our programmable rotary, push, double-head and three-roller tube benders allow us to provide uniquely shaped extrusions, allowing you to create innovative products.
