Roll Forming

Roll forming is an excellent choice for the shaping of coated, finished, cured, or otherwise treated metals. Because roll forming processes don't involve heat, and because rollers can be coated with powders or oils that don't react with the metals they shape, roll forming can shape metals without affecting surface properties.

Roll forming is an excellent choice for the shaping of coated, finished, cured, or otherwise treated metals. Because roll forming processes don't involve heat, and because rollers can be coated with powders or oils that don't react with the metals they shape, roll forming can shape metals without affecting surface properties. This makes it an ideal shaping method for polished metals, coated metals, and other metals whose aesthetic properties must be maintained.

History of Roll Forming

The earliest known examples of rolling technology were found in the Middle East and South Asia and date back to around 600 B.C. While they were quite rudimentary, they displayed the same basic principles as models drawn later by Leonardo Da Vinci.
