Formprofiles

Formprofiles are a type of manufactured metal product commonly used in construction and industrial applications. They are created by cold-forming or hot-forming flat metal sheets or strips into specific cross-sectional shapes. This process, known as roll forming, involves passing the metal through a series of rollers that gradually bend and shape it into the desired profile. The resulting shapes can vary widely, including angles, channels, tubes, and more complex custom designs.

The advantages of using formprofiles are numerous. The roll forming process allows for high-volume production of consistent and precise shapes, which can reduce manufacturing costs. The cold-forming method, in particular, can enhance the strength and durability of the metal without significantly altering its metallurgical properties. Formprofiles are known for their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making them suitable for applications where structural integrity is important but minimizing weight is also a goal.

These profiles find application in a broad range of industries. In construction, they are used for framing, roofing, cladding, and structural components. The automotive industry utilizes them for various parts, including chassis components and body panels. Other sectors, such as furniture manufacturing, appliance production, and agricultural equipment, also benefit from the versatility and cost-effectiveness of formprofiles. The ability to create custom shapes allows engineers and designers to tailor solutions to specific project requirements.
