What is Metal Spinning?

Posted On Jul 16, 2023

Metal spinning is an adaptable process. Tooling for manually operated low production runs is relatively inexpensive. This means that designers can realize their ideas with this process early on and make structural and aesthetic adjustments to the 3D form.But Metal spinning is limited to rotationally symmetrical parts.

What is Metal Spinning?

Spinning is the process of forming rotationally symmetrical sheet metal profiles.

This process is utilized in the furniture, lighting, kitchenware, automotive and jewelry industries.

Some typical products made in this way include lampshades, lamp stands, clock facades, bowls and dishes.


COMPATIBLE MATERIALS

 Stainless steel, brass, copper, aluminum


COSTS

Tooling costs can be very low, especially for low production. 


Metal Spinning can be utilized to form sheet profiles including cylinders, cones and hemispheres. It is frequently combined with punching, fabrication or pressing to provide a wider range of design opportunities.
