A wire form made to a shape that does not belong to any standard family: a bent, looped or folded part produced on CNC forming equipment from your sketch or sample. Most wire form enquiries arrive exactly this way, as a shape that has no name.
If the part can be bent from wire, it can be programmed. There is no need to force the shape into a catalogue category.
Multiple bends happen in a single setup, so errors do not accumulate between hand-set bending stations.
Stainless, spring steel, carbon steel, 65Mn and music wire, from 0.1 to 8 mm.
Send the mating part with your sample where you can. Wire forms are usually judged on whether they fit something else, and having both in hand removes guesswork.
Hand-bent parts that vary enough to jam automated assembly
Shapes that no supplier will quote because they do not fit a standard product line
Dimensional and load figures are set per order against your drawing or sample, so they are marked TBC rather than filled with catalogue numbers.

Every batch follows the same seven step route, with tensile testing and magnetic powder flaw detection carried out before packing.
Available in Stainless steel, Spring steel, Carbon steel, 65Mn, Music wire, in wire from 0.1-8 mm, with any of our nine surface finishing routes. Geometry, end treatment and finish are all specified per order.
ISO 9001, SGS certificate and RoHS report (stated on the legacy site, certificates pending re-confirmation). Certificate copies are sent on request once re-confirmed.
Against a stamped or machined bracket doing the same job, a wire form is far cheaper in tooling and lighter, though it cannot provide a flat mounting face.
A dimensioned sketch or a sample is enough. For wire forms, the bend sequence matters more than a formal tolerance block.
Tell us the shape. Bend count is rarely the limit; interference between the formed part and the tooling usually is, and we check that at quoting.
Yes. Forming then finishing is the normal route, and all nine of our finishes are available.
Send your drawing, dimensions or a sample. We will confirm the specification and come back with a price and a lead time.
