According to the book from Dorel Banabic, published by Springer, untitled “Advanced Methods in Materials forming" (pages 103 to 108), bending profiles in 3D have been disclosed in various embodiments.

- the present invention also has the additional specific purpose, to allow bending also in 3D, which means a deformation in two planes, for instance XY and XZ planes.
- hollow profile here refers to metallic components having a symmetrical or a non-symmetrical closed cross section, with a circular, oval, rectangular or polygonal shape with one or multiple chambers.
- the hollow profile is preferably obtained by extruding billets, said hollow profile is then preferably an extruded hollow profile.
- the hollow profile or the extruded hollow profile is preferably made from an aluminum alloy, preferably a 6xxx series .

- this object is solved with a method having the features of Claim 1 substantially :
- a method for producing a formed hollow profile which is curved in at least one axis (X, Y, Z) in which a hollow metallic profile element is formed by means of at least two tool elements of a tool group, which hold a cross section part of the hollow metallic profile element, on a given length of said hollow metallic profile element, characterized in that at least two tool groups, each comprising two tool elements, which are spaced from one another are provided, in that each of the tool groups is fixed to the profile at least in regions in a forced based manner, wherein the region of the hollow metallic profile element, to be formed is arranged between the tool groups, and in that through relative movement of the tool groups to one another, the hollow metallic profile element in the freely arranged region located between the tool groups is formed at least partially.
- the tool groups are fixed to the hollow metallic profile element on a given region of its cross section, in a forced based manner. It permits to hold the hollow metallic profile element in a sufficiently rigid manner to permit the subsequent forming but also permits a sufficient freedom of movement to insure the plastic deformation.
- the deformation is obtained without the need of having an element, such as a bending roller, in contact with the area to be formed.
- any deformations or curvatures in the sections of the profile located between the tool groups can be achieved through a corresponding relative movement of the tool groups taking into account the material characteristics, such as the yield strength, the young modulus, the Poisson coefficient.
- the profile is not formed in the region of the tool groups during the forming operation according to the invention described so far during the relative movement of the tool groups relative to one another.
- the tool groups are moved along at least one space axis ( ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ ) linearly and/or in a rotatively manner about at least one space axis ( ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ ) .
- the tool groups are moved along at least two space axis ( ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ ) linearly and/or in a rotatively manner about at least two space axis ( ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ ).
- the method according to the invention comprises at least two tool groups which are spaced from one another, the case in which more than two, for example three or four tool groups which are spaced from one another are provided is obviously also included.
- a desired forming can be achieved in each case for example in the respective regions between the tool groups in one and the same method step.
- it is likewise not required during the forming operation to move the hollow metallic profile element into the region of the corresponding forming tools through a feed movement.
- the hollow profile, after being positioned is fixed in regions during the forming sequence.
- Advantageous further developments of the method according to the invention for producing a formed hollow profile that is curved in at least one axis are mentioned in the subclaims. All combinations of at least two features disclosed in the claims, the description and/or the figures fall within the scope of the invention.

- the invention is to be expressly not limited to such cases in which forming of part sections of the hollow metallic profile element takes place exclusively in the regions between the individual tool groups which are moveably arranged relative to one another. Accordingly, it is provided in a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention that, prior to the moving of the tool groups relative to one another, the hollow metallic profile element is additionally formed within a tool group, in particular for forming a curvature running in an axis of the extruded profile. This means that the tool elements of the tool group concerned have a shape or inner contour that is adapted to the form of the curved section of the hollow metallic profile element.
- Said additional forming is made possible by the displacement of the said shaped tool elements with respect to the tool group, said shaped tool elements displacing simultaneously or one after the other.
