Controlled bending and shaping

CNC Tube Formers

Our state of the art Slalom CNC tube bender, the first one in the UK, allows us to seamlessly form tube into sweeps and bends with minimal tooling. This process offers excellent repeatability on even your most complex components.

CNC tube forming revolutionises manufacturing by creating precise and complex shapes from metal tubes. This technology’s computer-controlled machines enable seamless bends, twists, and curves, enhancing productivity and reducing costs while ensuring high-quality results.

CNC Tube Forming Manipulation

We are able to manipulate all tube sizes up to 75mm diameter and any 3D shape you require can be formed using this process.

In addition, we also offer mandrel bending for forming tube when tight bends are required without kinking or ovalling.

With a large stock of tooling we are able to support you with short lead times and reduce your expenditure.

supporting advanced designs and tight tolerances

Tube Cutting & Trimming

Your formed tubes can be laser trimmed in-house to achieve accurate and consistent alignment between form and cut. This ensures reliable fit-up for downstream processes and supports repeatable production quality.

From automotive and motorsport to aerospace and specialist fabrication, our CNC tube forming capabilities support advanced designs and tight tolerance requirements. By combining precision control, accurate trimming, and full process traceability, Chasestead helps manufacturers achieve faster production cycles and consistent component quality.
