Help Creating Arc in 3d

I need to make a 180 degree bend with a 10mm radius in 5mm Ti.

Then I need to bend this arc around a cylinder 10 mm radius.

Not sure how to proceed at all

The double bent arc needs to go on the square end of the drawing component spring:1 sketch 1

Your description of what you desire lacks in clarity. What do you mean by "with a 10mm radius in 5mm Ti." Do not abbreviate your description what is Ti?

The part is made from 5mm titanium rod. I will use pipe after o get the path figured out. (I guess unnecessary info)

Your requirements are still clear as mud. A wrap arc is all I can imagine that matches your "3D Arc" title. If this is a correct guess, which I doubt, you did not give the pitch of the wrap. Model attached.

K first bend is a u shape (10 mm radius180 deg) on the xy plane. Second bend is a (10 mm radius 90 deg) that bends both legs of the u on the xz plane. The second bend begins at the same location as the u bend

See attached photo of a mock up

the 90 degree bend of both legs isnt great

Is this the kind of thing you're trying to achieve?

Yup that’s it the 90 bend also needs a 10 mm radius. (Min bend radius of 5mm titanium rod

I would be happy to mark it solved.
If a knew how to make it???

File is attached. I'm sure there are better ways but this is what came to mind.

The desired radii can be set using the procedure demonstrated in the screencast in #7.

Hmm learn two things some days great collaboration

Hi,

here is my file with your radii.
The important thing here is to create the fillets in the right order so that they "flow into each other".
