table curved tube with axis in space 3d

hello and good morning to all.
I have the 3d model (in solidworks) of a curved tube whose axis is a 3d curve. to better explain, the axis consists of two curves made each in a different plane. these two floors intersect according to different angles in the three directions. If you want to put this tube on the table, could someone give me some suggestions on the type of views to propose and how to quote? this tube must be made by a foldable; I am not at all practical of the process...what information does the operator need in the process?
for further clarification I attach an image of my model... the plans on which the two above curves are created are Plan 1 and Plan 3.
thanks in advanceImmagine.webp

Nice story. How did you put it on the table?

for now I paused because I am following another more urgent activity. The fact remains that I will have to return and find a solution. for now I had thought to play on the section views by choosing appropriately the section plans that will have as a track a tilted straight than for example the track of the pipe entry section bar. we always accept suggestions:-)
 
But how do you have to make that tube? I believe that, in a particular way, it is important to know the method of production to make a correct quotation. the curved rays from the image seem too small to make it by bending; Could it be a fusion to lose? or from various pieces of sheet metal? or with welded curves? with this information in hand you could contact the workshop to which you entrust the job to find the most suitable method.
otherwise if you stay in the generic do the three main views, plus any auxiliary and quota axes with lengths and angles

I think it's hard to bend a tube to get those curves from one piece. I would do it as two welded segments, and in that case even the table simplifies a lot.

the company for which I have been working for 2 weeks realizes most curved tubes with folds at the external workshop. in stock have a series of electro-welded straight axle tubes. the person with whom I interface in the company guaranteed me that the piece in question must be realized with a fold and, given my current ignorance on this matter, I entrusted myself to his directives. is always in my interest to listen to different opinions :-)
 
I had also thought of making it and, therefore, design it as two independent curves and then weld everything. In the worst, if I don't find any other refined solution, I will do so.
