Precision Wire Forming Solutions with AWC Industries
From automotive components to custom display racks, wire forming plays a critical role in the design and function of products across industries. At AWC Industries, we specialize in high-quality CNC custom wire forming up to 1 inch in diameter—helping companies bring their most complex ideas to life with strength, precision, and efficiency.
What Is Wire Forming?
Wire forming is the process of bending and shaping metal wire into specific configurations using advanced equipment like CNC wire-forming machines. This technique produces a wide variety of parts, from simple hooks to intricate wire assemblies used in industrial, medical, and consumer applications.
By blending cutting-edge machinery with experienced engineering, wire forming delivers components that meet demanding standards for performance, appearance, and durability.
Materials We Work With
At AWC Industries, we form both ferrous and non-ferrous materials, offering flexibility for a range of application needs. Our material capabilities include:
-
Steel & Stainless Steel – Ideal for high-strength and corrosion-resistant parts.
-
Aluminum – Lightweight and naturally resistant to rust; great for aerospace and transport.
-
Copper & Brass – Perfect for decorative, electrical, and thermal conductivity uses.
Whether you’re building for rugged durability or visual appeal, our team ensures the right material is selected for every project.
Industries That Count on Wire Forming
Wire-formed components are found in nearly every sector. Some of the primary industries we serve include:
🚗 Automotive
Wire forms are used in exhaust brackets, seat components, springs, and more. Strength and precision are non-negotiable in this field.
🏥 Medical & Healthcare
Wire-formed devices require biocompatible materials and extreme precision, often used in surgical tools, trays, and supports.
✈️ Aerospace
Weight, performance, and reliability matter. Aerospace-grade wire forms help reduce weight while ensuring high-temperature durability.
🏗️ Construction & Architecture
Wire products such as safety barriers, mesh panels, and structural supports require corrosion resistance and strength.
🛒 Retail & Consumer Goods
Display racks, shelving systems, hooks, and home goods all rely on custom wire shapes that balance form and function.
The Wire Forming Process at AWC
Here’s a look at how we deliver precision in every project:
1️⃣ CNC Wire Bending
Our CNC (Computer Numerical Control) equipment allows for tight tolerances and repeatability, whether for a prototype or full production run.
2️⃣ Cutting & Trimming
After forming, components are cut to length and inspected for accuracy and consistency.
3️⃣ Finishing & Secondary Processes
We offer a variety of finishing services, including powder coating, plating, and heat treating, to enhance performance, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics.
