Default Re: bending aluminum or copper tubing

I forgot to mention when using the Cerro alloy; You could encapsulate the entire part you are bending into a solid bar and position your tube or shape outside of the neutral axis of the bar. This would make the part stretch rather than compress eliminating kinks. You would be limited on the inside radii though for really tight bends.
