    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 also offers construction flexibility and deeply pleasing aesthetics.  While many metal forming processes exist for furniture construction, one of the best methods to create attractive and complex furniture projects is metal spinning.

    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 and resist corrosion in damp environments.  While there are a number of different materials and processes that are commonly used to manufacture this equipment, metal spinning using stainless steel allows for highly durable equipment that meets customers’ exact specifications.

    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 low-cost tooling. Without seams, parts can withstand much higher internal and external pressures.

    You will typically find spun metal components in decorative and architectural parts. Spun metal parts are also featured in variety of machines, cookware, gas cylinders, and brass instruments, and can be made from a variety of materials. Let’s discuss the three most common materials for spinning.

    It’s recommended that you drink at least eight glasses of water per day.  What you may not know, though, is how you drink it is as important as how much you drink.  If you’re drinking out of plastic bottles, you might want to think again.  17 million barrels of oil are used each year to make plastic water bottles, and in 2008, 189,000,000 plastic bottles were recovered from highways and parks.  Furthermore, chemicals such as BPA and antimony, which have been used in plastic bottles, can be dangerous, especially to children and pregnant women.
