Roll forming is quite a cost effective option in industries. Any industry use a combination of process such as stamping, extrusion and a combination of other processes . A combination of all these process help is to have the buildings that we have around s or the automobiles that we have around us.

Stamping is a process that is used in the industry. A metal sheet is placed between two dies and that is compressed to get the desire shape that we want .Through this process many parts can be created and this process can be made to function smoothly even without any kind of attendants help. Although there are several advantages of the stamping process but the major disadvantage is that the stamping process fails to create sheets that are exceptionally long in nature. With the advent of solar energy demands there is requirement for long sheets.

Roll forming and Extruding are the main two processes that are used in any industry. Industries such as automobiles, aerospace and construction these process are being used. The extrusion costs that are involved are not that high and it is being widely used in industries. However this particular process also falls short is areas that require steel parts as this particular process cannot extrude steel. The roll forming and brake operation process just complement each other.

There are certain Roll form sections that are bended by a press brake to get the desired shape. Using a press brake also becomes economical in certain areas. However the press brake also falls short in terms of expectation where the length is often difficult to form.

However roll forming is a process through which parts can be created that have high tolerance and they also have the facility where other process can also be included.

Through the process of roll form, parts can be created which can be of any length although it will depend on the length of the coil material that will be required for the line. Boron, aluminum and other materials can be roll formed. Certain crossection of the material can be easily bended to get the radius that one requires. Parts with high tolerance can be created with Roll forming. A set of other process such as hole punching, embossing can be created along with roll form process. Through roll form process a curve can be bended in three directions.
