Good morning,
I'm looking for information on how wireform ramp are manufactured in production, and what would be a practical way to manufacture in multiple units a single ramp ? What design tool would you use to design the ramp ? What type of facility can actually manufacture these ramps ?
For ex, it is now relatively easy to design and have manufactured custom metal apron using sheet metal design. I'm trying to find an equivalent process for wireform ramps
Cheers !
Quoted from PinRetail:The guys who chrome wireforms:

Finally, a video of how it's done professionally:
Thanks for the links
The video is interesting, but it's only in a two dimensional plane. What about wire that are in 3d? Or is this simply not possible?
