Metal Forming

Some of the equipment we employ for metal forming was designed and built by D-J Engineering to further expand our ability to make difficult parts.

Form dies are made by our own tooling department. You get the advantage of one call, one PO, one supplier, one integrated product. In addition to conventional forming methods, our patented CNC Stylus Forming Process enables us to form and trim to expand further our CNC mills in a single setup.

We accomplish both metal forming and heat treatment to the highest standards. Many projects involve a project engineer deployed on the shop floor to follow progress, with experienced hand-forming staff to ensure that the completed product meets specifications.
