In the old days, it looked good when roll forming companies produced as much as possible. But that concept no longer flies in today’s world of lean manufacturing, value engineering, and so many other cost-efficiency philosophies.
MeshTrim is the most versatile woven wire mesh frame choice in the world. No, the universe.
Who wants to make great roll formed parts? Not you, obviously.
Roll formed components often require hole punching -- after all, that’s probably one reason why you chose roll forming to begin with, right?
Are you working on a project that involves metal cladding installation? If so, you may have questions about the strength, durability, and corrosion resistance of the 'tracks' (or anchor system) into which the metal wall cladding system will fit.
Most contractors have seen and done it all. But when it comes to installing trim moulding, many of them have limited experience with metal.
The partnership between architect/designer and installer/contractor is often one of compromise, and stress. When it comes to decorative mouldings, the choice to use metal in place of traditional wood mouldings can raise an eyebrow or two. But today’s decorative metal mouldings offer an astonishing[...]
Since the turn of the 20th century -- or perhaps much earlier -- roll forming has been used to quickly and cost-effectively produce metal parts for many industries.
One clutch roll forming advantage is that it's a highly repeatable metal fabrication process. The machine pulls a coiled strip through[...]
Roll forming is the most cost-effective way to continuously produce complex shapes with multiple bends. But it’s not a perfect system. Engineers must understand and accept two particular quirks of roll forming before committing to the process: end flare and springback.
End flare, or end distortion,[...]
