Elite Mold Tech provides CNC-controlled tube bending,ensuring smooth,repeatable,and high-accuracy bends without compromising material strength.We work with stainless steel,aluminum,copper,and other metals,producing custom bends for automotive,aerospace,construction,and industrial applications.Our process guarantees tight radii,minimal deformation,and high consistency for structural and decorative tubing.
Tube bending is a metal forming process that shapes tubing into specific angles and curves without cutting.Using mandrel bending,roll bending,and press bending techniques,this method allows for precise shapes and tight tolerances while maintaining structural integrity.Tube bending is essential for exhaust systems,hydraulic lines,frames,and architectural designs.
Explore Tube Bending services by Elite Mold Tech,offering precise,repeatable bends for metal tubes and pipes without compromising structural integrity.Our advanced bending techniques support complex geometries for various industries.

This is the finish immediately after the tube is bent, where the surface may show some marks, distortion, or discoloration. Some roughness may also be present due to the bending process.
After bending, sharp edges or burrs may form, especially at the cut or bent sections.
A technique used to create a uniform, textured finish on the surface of the cut material.
A surface treatment where fine beads are blasted onto the surface to create a uniform matte or textured finish. Often used for removing any oxidation or marks left by the laser cutting process, providing a more consistent appearance.
Grinding is used to smooth out rough spots, especially after bending where the surface might be uneven.
Passivation used on stainless steel tubes after bending to enhance corrosion resistance by removing any free iron from the surface.
In some cases, heat treatment is done to relieve stresses created during the bending process
