The authors of this paper present assumptions and preliminary results of experimental investigations and FEM numerical simulations of laser-mechanical hybrid forming process of thin-walled elements. An experimental stand was designed and manufactured to investigate and develop new methods of bending of thin-walled tubes and conical diffusers, which are used in the construction of aircraft engines. Testing of the stand and the hybrid forming method under laboratory conditions, as well as results of numerical show new possibilities of thin-walled elements forming.
