Metal Forming Services for Industrial & OEM Applications

Where Ideas Take Shape

What is Metal Forming?

Unlike other manufacturing methods that involve cutting away material, metal forming reshapes sheets of metal through a variety of techniques that remove very little of the materials if any. This process not only reduces waste—since nearly all material is retained in the finished product—but also enhances structural integrity. This is because there is no need for welded joints, which can become weak points over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I determine which metal forming process is right for my project?

Selecting the right process depends on part geometry, material thickness, production volume, and structural requirements. For instance, stamping and deep drawing tend to work best for high-volume or complex metal component forming. On the other hand, metal rolling and bending are better suited for structural and curved industrial sheet metal components. Working closely with OEM engineers, our team aligns the forming method with the project’s performance and cost goals.

What materials can be used in your metal forming solutions?

Our forming processes can be applied to many sheet metals commonly used in industrial and OEM manufacturing, including:

  • Carbon steel
  • Stainless steel
  • Aluminum
  • Copper
  • Brass
  • High-strength alloys

The material selected is determined by the strength requirements, environment, and application.

Can Rhinehart support high-volume production runs?

Yes, we have the capacity to perform high-volume metal forming. Our computer-controlled equipment and ISO-compliant quality systems give us the scalability to take on large-scale projects with repeatability and production consistency.

How does Rhinehart ensure quality in its contract metal forming solutions?
