Aluminium Hemispheres

Light aluminium half balls stamped to ∅700mm or hand assembled to ∅3500mm with powder coating for lighting.

Aluminium Hemispheres made by Shenzhen Maoping Sculpture Arts Co., Ltd.
Aluminium Hemispheres produced at the Maoping workshop in Shenzhen

Overview

Stamp pressed aluminium hemispheres are light and take powder coating well, which is why they end up in lampshade designs. There are no visible seams on the surface.

Hand assembled aluminium hemispheres remove the mould limit. Our technicians calculate the sheet development, workers bend the leaf shapes and weld a complete hemisphere, then grind off welds and burrs. Any size can be made from ∅200mm upward.

Production Methods

The forming route decides the size range, the wall thickness and whether the seam ever shows.

Stamping press

Aluminium sheet is shaped by deforming it with a mould. Light weight with powder coating for lampshade designs.

  • Thickness 1mm to 3mm (20GA to 12GA)
  • Size ∅6mm to ∅700mm
  • No visible welding seams
  • Standard mould limit

Assembling

Sheet is developed, bent to leaf shapes and hand welded into a complete hemisphere, then welds and burrs are ground off.

  • Thickness 1mm to 6mm (20GA to 3GA)
  • Size ∅200mm to ∅3500mm
  • Visible welding seams, burr free
  • No standard mould limit

Who This Category Is For

  • Lighting manufacturers
  • Exhibition and stage builders
  • Artists making suspended elements
  • Interior fit-out contractors

Problems It Solves

  • Ceiling and rigging load limits on hanging domes. Aluminium keeps the weight down.
  • Coating adhesion on a formed dome. Powder coating suits the stamped surface.
  • Large custom domes with no budget for tooling. Hand assembly has no mould limit above ∅200mm.

Will the seam show on a large aluminium hemisphere?
Hand assembled hemispheres have visible seams, ground burr free. Stamped hemispheres up to ∅700mm have no visible seam.
What coating do you recommend?
Powder coating for interior lighting work, spray painting for outdoor use.
Can you make a non-standard diameter?
Yes, above ∅200mm there is no mould limit.
Is there a minimum order?
Sizes under 200mm carry a minimum. Above that there is no minimum.
