Custom CNC Tube Bending: Precision Solutions from AWC Industries
When it comes to metal fabrication, precision makes all the difference – especially in tube bending. At AWC Industries, we specialize in CNC tube bending services for both small and large-scale manufacturing needs. With capabilities up to 3” in diameter and decades of hands-on experience, we deliver reliable, high-quality tube bending solutions to industries across the U.S.
Whether you’re prototyping a new product or ramping up for high-volume production, we’re here to help bend the possibilities in your favor.
What Is CNC Tube Bending?
Tube bending is the process of reshaping straight metal tubing into curves, angles, or complex geometries without compromising the structural integrity of the tube. This process is critical in manufacturing components for a wide range of industries – from medical and food processing to automotive and aerospace.
At AWC Industries, we use computer numerically controlled (CNC) bending systems to ensure every bend is repeatable, accurate, and smooth, down to the tightest tolerances.
Materials We Bend
Our tube bending services are available for a variety of metals, including:
-
Stainless Steel – Ideal for hygienic and corrosion-resistant applications
-
Carbon Steel – Strong and durable for industrial and structural use
-
Aluminum – Lightweight and highly formable for aerospace, HVAC, and more
-
Copper & Brass – Excellent for electrical, plumbing, and decorative applications
Each material is handled with care to avoid deformation, wrinkling, or collapse, even in complex or tight-radius bends.
Key Advantages of Precision Tube Bending
✅ Faster Production – Reduces the need for welded joints, minimizing labor and speeding up assembly
✅ Stronger Designs – Fewer seams means less chance of failure under pressure or stress
✅ Space Efficiency – Allows for tighter routing in compact equipment or machinery
✅ Clean, Professional Look – Seamless bends improve both functionality and aesthetics
