Precision Tube Bending Solutions at AWC Industries

 

AWC Industries Tube Bending

In the world of metal fabrication, the ability to bend tubing with accuracy and consistency is essential. At AWC Industries, we specialize in CNC custom tube bending and fabrication, handling diameters up to 3 inches and delivering the high-quality results our customers rely on.

Whether it’s a small custom order or a large-scale production run, our team provides the expertise, technology, and fast turnaround needed to keep your projects moving.

What Is Tube Bending?

Tube bending is the process of shaping straight metal tubing into curves, angles, or complex forms without compromising the tube’s structural strength. From simple bends to intricate, multi-plane geometries, precision tube bending is critical in manufacturing components for countless applications.

At AWC Industries, our computer numerically controlled (CNC) bending systems guarantee repeatability and accuracy, ensuring every bend meets your exact specifications.

Materials We Work With

Our CNC tube bending services cover a wide range of metals, including:

  • Steel & Stainless Steel – Durable and corrosion-resistant for industrial and hygienic use.

  • Aluminum – Lightweight and highly formable, ideal for aerospace, HVAC, and automotive applications.

  • Copper & Brass – Excellent for electrical components, plumbing, and decorative finishes.

No matter the material, our team ensures smooth bends without wrinkles, flattening, or deformation, even in challenging or tight-radius designs.

Why Choose CNC Tube Bending?

Precision tube bending offers several advantages:

Efficiency – Reduces welding and assembly needs, saving time and cost.
Strength – Fewer joints mean greater durability under stress.
Compact Design – Makes tight routing possible in limited spaces.
Clean Finish – Seamless bends improve both performance and appearance.
