Tube End Forming & Tube Fabrication Services: Custom Tube Fabrication

tube end forming and tube forming We specialize in the contract tube cutting of all workable alloys including stainless steel hypodermic tubing (hypotube), exotics, brass & copper. We use a multi-stage fabrication process to shear cut tubular parts with material loss. Most end forming & machining can be done during the tube cut-off process. Wire & tubular parts are bent without kinking, headed & bulged.

Common and custom end forming and part machining options available
Most end configurations can be achieved during the tube cut-off process
Minimal distortion or collapse to the outside or inside diameters
Precision tube fabricating & bending services - up to billions of parts
