Home ❯ Spin Forming
Called also metal spinning, it’s one of the most artistic processes we can perform.
Thanks to a specific tool, that is a metal disk which rotating around a lathe is pushed on the mold until it takes its shape.
This type of processing allows to produce pieces with very particular shapes, that if made with traditional presses require very expensive molds and several more processing steps.
Spin forming instead, uses less expensive molds and can produce very complex pieces
Following the SGL Mix philosophy, we use the spin forming technology to develop prototypes for our clients, before passing to the real molding press, were the final pieces are produced in series.
In this case, spin forming can be used as a base for the mold used in the press, therefore without wasting the previous work.
We have different machineries that can produce from very small pieces to large size ones with a maximum diameter of approximately 1 meter.
