What Is Metal Spinning?
Metal spinning is a processing method where metal sheets are formed into various shapes by plastic deformation using rollers or tools while being rotated.
The process involves fixing the metal sheet to a spinning lathe and pressing it against a mold through centrifugal force to form the desired shape. This method finds applications in various fields such as lighting fixtures, tableware, musical instruments, architectural materials, automotive parts, and medical devices.
The characteristics of metal spinning include the ability to use a single mold, making it inexpensive and allowing for short lead times in production. It is suitable for prototyping and small-batch production, can accommodate complex shapes and deep draws, can shape without changing the thickness of the metal, and minimizes material wastage. Metal spinning is well-suited for prototyping and small-batch production due to its cost-effectiveness and short lead times. Moreover, its ability to handle complex shapes and deep draws makes it versatile for various applications.
