In a device and in a process for bending a tube 72 , the tube 72 is guided through a bending tool 71 , which rotates around a section guide housing 81, 82 and also around a cam unit formed by two tubes 83, 84 . Rollers 86 serve as pressing elements, and a mandrel 73 serves as an abutment; as the tube 72 is pushed through the section guide housing 81, 82 between the rollers 86 and the mandrel 73 , it is squeezed to different degrees in different areas of its wall cross section, so that, as a result of the stretching and squeezing of the tube 72 , a bend is produced. The size of the bending radius of the tube 72 to be bent is determined by the eccentricity adjusted via the cam unit and/or by the axial feed of the rollers 86 toward the section guide housing 81, 82 . By means of the bending tool 71 according to the invention, it is possible to produce different bending radii in one and the same bending device in a tube 72 to be bent by changing the feed, that is, the distance between the rollers 86 and the mandrel 73 . No uncontrolled cracks or deformations occur. The bending tool 71 used imposes only minimal limitations on how the tube 72 can be bent in any of 3 dimensions, which means that a section can be bent into any desired shape.
