Furniture Metal Spinning

Metal spinning is a useful manufacturing process for creating a wide variety of commercial and industrial parts, including high-quality parts for furniture.

Metal spinning works well with different metallic bases to create clean, aesthetically pleasing shapes, and the parts themselves offer suitable strength and durability for furnishing purposes. Metal spinning offers furniture manufacturers several benefits, including efficient processes, cost-effectiveness, durable end products, reaching niche audiences with metal-spun furniture, and more.

 Materials and Applications

The versatility of metal spinning allows for work with a wide range of materials essential to furniture manufacturing:

Each material brings specific advantages to furniture applications, allowing manufacturers to match material properties to specific component requirements.

Metal Spinning Is a Fast, Efficient Way to Create Furniture

One of metal spinning’s biggest advantages is the speed of the process. CNC spinning equipment improves the processing time over hand-spun pieces for furniture companies. This also creates an ideal solution for furniture makers who want to increase their product offerings with both standard and hand-spun furnishings.

The spinning process consistently applies forming tools on all sides of the workpiece as it rotates, which minimizes the need for finishing steps and corrections later in the process. Key benefits of this fast manufacturing method include:

Create Durable Furniture Pieces with Metal Spinning

Furniture needs to be durable to hold consumer confidence and to create a strong sense of brand recognition. Metal spun pieces deliver that long-term strength and durability. The technique works with a wide variety of metal bases, so companies never have to choose a metal with weak structural integrity just to create decorative elements. In fact, spinning works best with strong metals that can withstand the force of metal spinning without breaking or splinting.

When the metal workpieces are first formed, they have uninterrupted grain lines throughout the metal sheet or stock material. Rather than breaking the grain lines, metal spinning compresses the grain of the metal and makes it stronger, resulting in stronger final parts. Other common metal fabrication processes often work against the grain of the metal or cut through it, weakening the overall strength of the material.

Metal Spinning Is a Cost-Effective Method

This manufacturing technique is well-known for creating smooth pieces with clean lines and well-formed shapes, even as the pieces become more ornate and complex. The predictability and repeatability of metal spinning ensures that there is less finishing work for manufacturing teams to handle manually or through automated polishing equipment. The machines make precisely the right tooling steps to create consistent forms that match the original design with little-to-no variation, which is ideal for large-scale production runs or national furniture brands.

Another key advantage of this production method is the relatively low waste of material. The spinning process uses tools to push and bend the metal into the right position rather than simply cutting away all excess material. This helps reduce the total material cost of furniture pieces in three ways:

Choose Metal Craft for High-Quality Metal Spinning

Metal spinning is a fast, efficient, and reliable manufacturing process that spins metal workpieces and forms them into stylized furniture components. This process guarantees faster production and less material waste compared to many other popular manufacturing techniques. It also creates higher quality products due to the uniformity of the spinning process and the durability the process imbues into the metal.
