Customized Tube bending tools for faster lead times and higher flexibility at lower costs

SAG TUBI faced challenges in producing high-precision tooling for pipe bending systems. The complexity and variability of custom pipe geometries made traditional manufacturing methods inefficient and costly, with long lead times and a lack of flexibility in meeting design requirements.

SAG TUBI adopted HP’s 3D printing technology using HP 3D HR PA 12 material to produce custom tools and fixtures. This allowed them to create complex geometries for pipe bending and quality control directly, reducing the need for traditional tooling and minimizing production time.

HP 3D printing provided SAG TUBI with faster production, reduced costs, and improved flexibility. The use of HP 3D HR PA 12 material ensured durability and precision, allowing for custom designs that could be quickly adapted to different bending processes. This streamlined the entire production process, enhancing overall efficiency.
