Metal profile bending
for precise curves and complex shapes
Bending aluminum and steel profiles
Metal profile bending is a process that deforms elements such as beams, tubes, or shaped sheets, giving them curved geometries of various radii and complexity. Using dedicated machinery, the metal is gradually bent until it reaches the desired radius, maintaining high standards of precision and consistency. This process, typically carried out cold, preserves the mechanical properties of the material and is ideal for applications in construction, architecture, mechanical industry, and design.
How bending works
The metal profile bending process is carried out using calenders or cold bending presses. With the help of rollers, the metal is gradually deformed into the desired curve without compromising the material’s strength. Accurate control of parameters such as bending radius, pressure, and feed rate ensures consistent and repeatable results, whether for single components or large production runs.
Applications and advantages
Metal profile bending, including aluminum and steel profile bending, finds wide application in sectors such as furniture, architecture, the automotive industry, shipbuilding, and industrial construction. Key benefits include:
Possibility to create unique sections and tailor-made bends.
Cold forming reduces the need for welds or joints.
Arches, ring profiles, and complex shapes enhance both functionality and aesthetics.
Cold bending maintains the metal’s strength and ductility.
Aluminum and steel profile bending
Aluminum profile bending
Aluminum is highly valued for its lightness and corrosion resistance. Cold bending of aluminum profiles requires precise pressure control, enabling perfect curves suited for curtain walls, roofing systems, and urban furnishing elements.
Steel profile bending
Steel’s strength and ductility make it ideal for both structural and decorative applications. Controlled bending of steel profiles maintains mechanical integrity, ensuring reliability in structural arches, railings, carpentry, and industrial machinery components.
