This paper is concerned with a relatively new bending technique, known as Free-Bending. Its possibilities to realise geometries with almost arbitrary bending radii, with freely definable bending angles, which can be in several planes make this technique very interesting for an application in the automobile industry, especially in the field of car chassis and space frames. Therefore the paper shows some practical examples of geometries which were investigated with bending tests and examined by means of the finite element method. Furthermore the extended possibilities and the restrictions of this new technology are discussed.
