What Is Shaped Wire and Custom Wire Profiling?

Shaped wire helps reduce manufacturing waste by crafting near-net shapes for unique applications. We create these bespoke shapes through cold-rolling and then cold-drawing the material through the mill or turks head dies to produce the desired shape. As a result, you get high-performing wire engineered to your exact product specs. 

We can also add different edges, materials and processes to the steel to produce application-specific results. Our profiling capabilities extend to many different alloys, including custom stainless steel shaped wire.

Thanks to our equipment, expertise and selection, you enjoy:

  • Smooth, burr-free surfaces
  • Better material performance
  • Cost and labor savings over machining and tooling from bar
  • Consistent material properties
  • Tight dimensional tolerances
