metal bending

Curving rigid materials

Metal bending is the process of shaping metal by applying force to create angles, curves, or complex forms without cutting or removing material.

In manufacturing, it encompasses techniques like press braking, roll bending, and tube bending.

The term also refers to a fictional ability in the animated series *Avatar*, where certain characters manipulate metal through supernatural powers—an extension of earthbending.

The shop specializes in custom metal bending for architectural projects.
