The Critical Role of Metalworking in Aerospace & Defense
The aerospace and defense industries require a vast stock of varied parts, most of which must meet stringent regulations and guidelines. Parts used in these sensitive, safety-focused sectors require:
The Versatility of Metal Spinning and Hydroforming
An extremely versatile technique dating back to ancient times, metal spinning — also known as metal turning or spin forming — allows ductile metal to be formed into different shapes by rotating it on a spindle. Hydroforming is also utilized to form metal into varying shapes. The main difference with hydroforming is that it uses […]
Metal-Spun Furniture: Maximizing Strength and Beauty with Steel
Solutions for Custom Furniture Design The modern use of metals to construct furniture dates back to cast iron tables created in the early 19th century; contemporary designers seeking custom parts still frequently rely on metal for the construction of high quality furniture. Metal furniture not only remains durable and strong throughout its lifetime, but it […]

Metal Spinning: Creating Superior Food Processing Equipment
Durability in the Most Important Settings In the world of food processing, manufacturing the highest quality equipment is of paramount importance. Not only does food need to be kept safe, but the equipment itself must be able to function smoothly even in the most difficult industrial conditions. Food processing equipment needs to endure high temperatures […]

Metal Spinning Benefits and Applications
The metal spinning process consists of a tube or a disc of metal that is rotated at high-speed and machined into an axially symmetrical product using either a vertical or horizontal lathe. The advantage of spinning over other forming processes is its capacity to create seamless products from a single piece of material, with relatively […]

Difficulties in Metal Spinning Special Alloys
Too often in the metal fabrication industry, the phrase “we’re not set up for that” really means “we don’t want to do that.” When customers are met with either the unwillingness to manufacture their parts to print or the inexperience to know how to do so properly, the end project suffers greatly. Granted, it’s important […]
