Many custom metal parts are made using extrusion that would be cheaper or easier to make using roll forming. Roller Die + Forming engineers can look at the particular part you\u2019re making to determine whether you could save money or have a faster process using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollerdie.com\/additional-services\/extrusion\/\">roll forming<\/a>. You may also be able to run smaller batches and have them delivered just in time by using roll forming instead of extrusion.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, if you\u2019re interested in a lower-cost method of adding fabricated holes to your part, a pre-notch roll formed solution is best for this type of work. This is especially true for high-volume parts or running a variety of punch patterns on the same shaped part. We can also cut the rolled and punched parts to different lengths without changing tooling.<\/p>\n<p>If you have existing applications you would like us to benchmark against, reach out to the sales team at Roller Die + Forming. Our team can take a detailed look at your application and determine if, long-term, roll forming might be a better solution for your part and your process. Further, with three plants in the U.S. and a plant in Mexico, we can often cut freight costs and increase your savings.
