An oval sphere form with integrated lighting, outside the standard spherical range.
Project Details
- Location
- China
- Product range
- Specialty Steel Spheres
Customer Pain Points
- An oval is not a sphere and needs its own sheet development
- Lighting integrated into the form
- A mirror finish across a compound curve
Our Solution
The oval sphere was formed and finished with light integrated into the piece.
Manufacturing Process
Sheet development was calculated for the oval profile, then formed, welded, ground and mirror polished.
Supply Chain Coordination
Produced and delivered as a complete lit assembly.
Quality Control
Incoming material
Alloy and sheet thickness are checked against the order before any blank is cut.
Forming check
Diameter and wall are measured after pressing, spinning or water pressuring.
Weld and grind
The equator weld is inspected, then welds and burrs are ground off before finishing.
Surface inspection
Every piece is inspected for scratches, dents and polish consistency under light.
Packing
Protective packing is built around the diameter and weight, and photographs are sent before dispatch.
Final Result
An illuminated oval sphere with a mirror polished surface.
Customer Benefit
Custom sheet development lets the form leave the catalogue without leaving the process.
