Roll forming: the alternative from extrusion.
It is true that the tooling costs for roll forming aluminum are higher than for extrusion. Nevertheless, it is often more favorable for large quantities, functional part geometries and high-quality surfaces. Very thin-walled and at the same time stable profiles can be roll-formed from aluminum. In addition, profile variants can be produced flexibly and additional work steps can be integrated. Even pre-painted or film-coated materials for Class A surfaces can be processed.
