An object of the present invention is to provide a bending die that has a simple configuration and is capable of bending a rod-shaped body in a three-dimensional XYZ direction quickly and reliably, the bending die comprising a pair of forming dies clamped in a Z direction, wherein the forming dies have, respectively, rod-shaped body-forming recess portions, and rod-shaped body guide portions for guiding a rod-shaped body to the rod-shaped body-forming recess portions, the rod-shaped body-forming recess portions are each formed into a shape with a semicircular cross section that defines, between the forming dies when clamping the forming dies, a long, cylindrical cavity for forming the rod-shaped body bent in a three-dimensional XYZ direction, and the rod-shaped body guide portions are each formed into a V-shape that spreads outward from both sides of each of the rod-shaped body-forming recess portions having a semicircular cross section.

This structural member (W1) is manufactured using a structural member manufacturing device including: a first clamping part (10) having a first lower clamping member (11) and a second upper clamping member (12) disposed to face each other and capable of being opened and closed; a second clamping part (20) having a third lower clamping member (21) and a fourth upper clamping member (22) disposed to face each other corresponding to the first lower clamping member (11) and the second upper clamping member (12) and capable of being opened and closed; and clamping part driving means for allowing the first clamping part (10) and the second clamping part (20) to be relatively separated from each other while causing a position in an X-axis direction and a position in a Z-axis direction to correspond to each other. That is, the structural member (W1) is manufactured by a structural member manufacturing method in which the first clamping part (10) and the second clamping part (20) are relatively separated from each other by the clamping part driving means.

A metal part is hot formed by placing a metal part blank on a forming tool and installing a fabric cover over the forming tool, overlying the metal part blank. The fabric is at least partially wrapped around the metal part blank. The metal part blank is heated to a temperature sufficient to allow forming of the metal part blank. Forming pressure is applied to the metal part blank that conforms the metal part blank to the forming tool by tensioning the fabric.

A tube bending system having a frame, one or more static dies, one or more sliding dies and one or more motors for bending tubes, such as metal tubes, in the form of hoops to create a framework for a greenhouse. The system may include separately leveled frames including a central frame supporting the middle of an arch die, and a pair of lateral frames supporting the lateral sides of the die. An apex clamp on the central frame holds the middle of a straight tube blank against the arch die, while a pair of bending carriages on the lateral frames are displaced to bend the tube blank around the arch die. The apex clamp may move both vertically and longitudinally to cycle between holding the tube blank against the arch die, ejecting the bent tube from the die, and retracting to enable placement of another straight tube.

A method of forming an annular part includes forming a conical or frusto-conical preform with at least one open end, initiating an actuation means to cause relative coaxial movement only between a punch, a clamping means and a gripping means, thereby clamping a large diameter end of the preform in the clamping means and gripping a second small diameter end of the preform in the gripping means and the external surface of the punch to engage the internal surface of the preform, and causing relative co-axial movement between the gripping means and the punch so that the portion of the wall of the preform between the punch and the gripping means is formed over the leading edge of the punch.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a manufacturing method of a mask plate. The manufacturing method of the mask includes: embedding a shaping mold in a mask region of a mask sheet; fixing the mask sheet with the shaping mold; performing a stretching process on the mask sheet fixed with the shaping mold; and separating the mask sheet from the shaping mold to form the mask.
