<p>A method and apparatus for three-dimensionally bending a metal material are provided. A product intermittently having a bent portion which curves three-dimensionally and a quenched portion is manufactured by a bending method which performs bending downstream of a support means while feeding a metal material which is supported by the support means from an upstream side towards a downstream side. A portion of the metal material is heated by a heating means for the metal material downstream of the support means, a bending moment is imparted to the portion of the metal material which was heated by the heating means to carry out bending by three-dimensionally changing the position of a movable roller die which is disposed downstream of the heating means and has a plurality of rolls which feed the metal material which was heated by the heating means in the axial direction, and the metal material is quenched by spraying a cooling medium at the portion of the metal material which was heated by the heating means by a cooling means disposed between the heating means and the movable roller die. Errors in a product due to bending are suppressed by supporting a portion of the metal material which has exited from the movable roller die.</p> |
