Aluminum or steel sheet metal is rolled through a Slip Roller consisting of three offset rollers to form a constant radius over the length of the material.  The size of the radius is controlled by adjusting the location of the rollers with respect to one another.

Roll formed parts are also many times chem milled to reduce weight and/or allow clearance for mating parts.
