Abstract: Three-dimensional free bending is a new tube forming technology with continuous variable curvature. In order to improve the forming quality of tube, this paper studies the principle of three-dimensional free forming system and the numerical calculation of bending moment in detail, and it uses the finite element simulation to model the mechanism in the bending process. The simulation model is used to simulate the forming process of copper tube, and the influence of key process parameters on the forming process is analyzed,the shape of the inner cavity of the bending die and the gap between the tube and the bending die are studied, the distance between the bending die and the guide column is studied, the axial feed rate on the forming quality of tubular bending parts has also been studied. The optimum process parameters were determined by finite element simulation and analysis.
