Welcome to the CRFI Blog!

We are passionate about roll forming and we are excited to use this portal to share with you the latest trends, technology and news about our metalforming process!

Roll forming is a continuous process in which a strip of metal, usually in coil form, passes through a series of roller dies and progressively shaped to the desired contour. This process eliminates multiple-stage production, finishing and/or subassembly operations. Secondary operations such as notching, punching, tabbing, perforating, edge rolling, bending, deburring, embossing and mechanical finishing can be combined continuously with the roll forming operation to quicken production and reduce assembly costs. By its very nature, the roll forming process permits consistent adherence to close tolerances, working in heavy and lightweight materials. 

Roll forming is a cost-effective and efficient metalforming process to consider to produce the metal component parts and assemblies your company needs!  For additional information on our initiative to grow awareness for this process and support roll forming companies in the industry, visit www.customrollforminginstitute.org.
