WHY ROLL FORMING?
View our Roll Forming Machinery
Over the last 60 years, Roller Die + Forming has focused on perfecting the roll forming method. Roll forming is superior to other metal forming processes, such as the use of a press brake. Roll forming also has advantages over angle iron or aluminum extrusions, for many reasons. The main benefits of roll forming are as follows:
Handles any project size
In larger projects, the cost of roll formed tooling is overcome by sheer volume. And since Roller Die features over 2300 free in-house tooling parts, we can provide parts with little or no upfront tooling costs. We are not like other roll forming firms who hide the cost of the tooling price.
Roll forming also makes it easier to produce longer lengths than are typically available on a punch press. We can put holes in the part in-line, and we can provide you with the end cut you desire.
Additionally, press brake jobs often require test blanks, which become scrap. Therefore, press braking unnecessarily raises costs in small and complex projects, and roll forming is preferred.
Our engineers happily cater to all client needs, handling any job size with ease. Click here to view a case study on how roll forming handles any project size.
Provides closest tolerance

Roll forming can provide much closer tolerances than other metal processes.
Please see our Capabilities section to view Roller Die’s pledge for extremely close tolerances, which are held on both the degrees on legs and end cut. In addition to this, we can also hold close tolerances on hole punches.
Proficient in complex and custom jobs
For one, roll forming excels in creating parts with uneven legs, and complex hole configurations. Roll forming ensures that shapes and dimensions are always accurate and uniform. Additionally, roll form machines make extremely precise cuts. These features are especially important to us, since Roller Die caters to custom metal roll forming needs.
