VT machining offers CNC Bending for Grade 3 Titanium (UNS R50550 / ASTM B348 Gr3), typically supplied annealed. Stronger CP grade than Gr2 with slightly lower formability.
CNC Bending Notes for Grade 3 Titanium
Grade 3 Titanium bends to a tight inside radius (about 1× thickness) in this condition.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of Grade 3 Titanium weighs about 0.45 kg.

What is CNC Bending Grade 3 Titanium and how is it done?
CNC Bending Grade 3 Titanium refers to cNC bending forms sheet metal to precise angles using a programmed press brake and back-gauge. Applied to Grade 3 Titanium — high strength-to-weight, biocompatible and corrosion resistant — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Why is Grade 3 Titanium a good choice for CNC Bending?
Grade 3 Titanium is high strength-to-weight, biocompatible and corrosion resistant, which makes it well suited to CNC Bending. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished Grade 3 Titanium forming part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
Can VT machining make custom Grade 3 Titanium parts to my drawing?
Yes. Grade 3 Titanium forming is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Bending Grade 3 Titanium?
CNC Bending prototypes for Grade 3 Titanium can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
