At Roller Die + Forming, we often see the situation where customers make the decision to press brake parts<\/a> which would otherwise be ideal shapes for roll forming<\/a>. Before making the decision whether to press brake or roll form a part, it is important to consider a variety of factors to make sure you\u2019ve made the best choice for the lifetime of your product.<\/p>\n One of the common misconceptions is that roll forming<\/a> can only be justified for very high volume projects due to the tooling cost of starting a new project. A unique advantage that we offer at Roller Die + Forming is an expansive library of existing tooling. When we look at a potential project, even if it is a custom shape, we have the ability to take a look at our tooling library<\/a> to see if any existing tooling can be used for at least part of the project. At times, this can significantly reduce the tooling investment and allow shorter program volumes to justify the tooling cost.<\/p>\n
