Metal Spinning is an age-old technique used to form metal. It is also commonly known as spin forming. This process is performed on a special lathe, using a roller to form a sheet of metal over a shaped die. The material used to make the dies range from wood to high grade steel. The benefit of spin forming is that simple and complex designs can be produced with a much smaller material cost than modern machining. Metal spinning is still used today to supply numerous industries with products, ranging from cookware to aerospace components.
