What shapes can metal spinning make?
METAL SPIN FORMING SHAPES
Metal spin forming is for concentric shapes, which means all spun parts are round. Because spun parts are mostly round, metal spinning allows for a variety of radii. For a spun radius, it should measure at least two times the material thickness.
In addition metal spinning can also utilize a range of embosses, ribs, steps, hems and beads which in addition to their primary function, also increase the stiffness of a part. This increased stiffness allows for the use of thinner and lighter material, which makes Wenzel’s metal spinnings pound-for-pound more cost effective than fabricating or stamping.
