What are the major advantages of roll forming compared to stamping?
The stamping process cannot produce long parts efficiently. Roll forming is a stable process that is capable of producing metal parts of any length efficiently
Roll forming can provide much closer tolerances than stamping process.Roll forming ensures that shapes and dimensions are always accurate and uniform.
High strength steels can be handled by roll forming which cannot be handled by stamping. High-strength steels are very difficult to stamp because of springback, galling, and scratching.
Roll forming can offer the lowest tooling and maintenance costs with the assurance of quality metal fabrication.
