Efficient and Affordable Roll Forming Design
In making a great roll formed part, you’ll want:
Readily Available Materials
A great roll formed part will be made of a material that’s readily available in coil or sheet form. This is the easy part.
The hard part is choosing a metal that can tolerate bending to the desired radius. In general, the more ductile the better.
Generous Tolerances
The #1 rule of tolerances for efficient and affordable parts is to make them as loose as possible while maintaining proper functionality and quality expectations.
Compatible Design
Follow the 10 design “rules” as closely as possible.
