About

Rollform is a software package developed to help designers create product profiles and rollsets (custom rollform tooling) for rollforming machinery. Rollform models the design process, taking the user through the process step by step, allowing the user to make the required design decisions in a logical and sensible way. It handles all of the complex calculations required to validate these design decisions.

Rollform is created by designers of rollformed sections and rollforming machinery, for designers of rollformed sections and rollforming machinery. Rollform is the result of over 40 years experience in rollform section design, and has been in use in rollforming production environments since 1989.

Rollform reduces the cost of section and tooling design, by eliminating the tedious and repetitive tasks facing a design engineer and performing automatic checks on the design, which reduces design time and design errors, both of which are potentially very expensive. Rollform is user friendly and flexible for designers, while maintaining a robust design process model.
