Scottsdale Construction Systems will be at the National Association of Steel-Framed Housing Inc. (NASH) 2026 National Industry Workshop as a Silver Sponsor. Visit us to learn how steel-framed homes continue to shape modern housing and how advanced roll forming technology supports scalable construction. The event will be held at the Novotel Barossa Valley, South Australia, from March 15–17, 2026, bringing together leaders committed to building better with innovative construction solutions and systems.
Why Steel Framing Matters at NASH
NASH exists to advance the use of steel framing in residential construction by promoting best practices, education, and performance-driven building systems. Its mission aligns with the growing demand for durable, efficient housing solutions designed to meet modern codes and environmental challenges. As interest in steel-framed homes increases globally, NASH provides the industry framework needed to support quality outcomes and responsible growth.
Scottsdale’s Role in Supporting NASH
As a roll forming machinery and technology supplier and a proud NASH member, Scottsdale directly supports the association’s mission. We help builders build with light-gauge steel material by providing the tools and expertise needed to manufacture framing components efficiently and accurately. Our participation and sponsorship reflect our long-term commitment to the steel housing sector and to advancing steel framing through practical, production-ready roll forming solutions.
Technology Behind Roll Forming Machines
At the heart of Scottsdale’s offering are advanced roll forming machines designed for fabricating steel framing in housing applications. These systems enable manufacturers to produce consistent components for steel-framed homes using integrated design-to-production workflows. By combining automation with precision, our roll forming machines help fabricators reduce waste, improve accuracy, and support repeatable building systems.
Scottsdale offers multiple families of roll forming machines. Below is a summary of our roll forming machine product line.
Scotpanel Roll Forming Machines
Scotpanel machines are versatile single-profile roll forming machines designed to produce C-section profiles from 2.50 – 5.50 in. (64 – 140 mm) in depth for use in walls, roofs, ceilings, and support frames in low to mid-rise construction. These roll forming machines can be used in off-site and on-site fabrication of load-bearing and non-load-bearing steel framing construction.
Scottruss Roll Forming Machines
Scottruss machines are high-capacity single-profile roll forming machines for producing Hat-section profiles from 2.00 – 3.00 in. (51 – 76 mm) in depth for use in roof and floor applications across a wide range of construction. These roll forming machines can be used in off-site and on-site fabrication of roof trusses, floor joists, mezzanines, and more.
KFD Framemaker Roll Forming Machines
KFD Framemaker machines are multi-profile roll forming machines for producing SFIA standard non-structural lipped and unlipped C-section profiles from 1.63 – 6.00 in. (41 – 152 mm) in depth for use in interior and non-load-bearing applications. KFD Framemaker roll forming machines are used for off-site and modular construction of partition walls, curtain walls, suspended ceilings, facades, and more.
KFS Framemaker Roll Forming Machines
KFS Framemaker machines are multi-profile roll forming machines for producing SFIA standard structural lipped and unlipped C-section profiles from 1.60 – 12.00 in. (40 – 305 mm) in depth for use in load-bearing applications. KFS Framemaker roll forming machines are used for off-site and modular construction of wall panels, load-bearing internal partition walls, solar panel support frames, and more.
KSE Roll Forming Machines
KSE machines are specialty roll forming machines and auxiliary equipment for producing steel framing members beyond the traditional C-section and Hat-section profiles for use in roof sheathing and advanced steel framing applications. These roll forming machines can be used in off-site and on-site fabrication of suspended ceilings, traditional headers, member support, architectural applications, and more.
The Value of Roll Forming in Housing
Modern roll forming allows builders to move beyond manual fabrication and toward streamlined manufacturing. Through intelligent tooling and software integration, roll forming supports faster production while maintaining the tight tolerances required for light-gauge steel framing. This approach is essential for housing projects where speed, quality, and scalability must coexist.
Why Builders Are Building with Steel
Choosing to build with steel offers long-term benefits for homeowners and developers alike. Steel systems are non-combustible, dimensionally stable, and well-suited to engineered housing solutions. As adoption grows, build with steel strategies are increasingly supported by automated fabrication methods that align with NASH’s performance goals.
Spotlight on Light-Gauge Steel Framing
Light-gauge steel framing has become a cornerstone of efficient residential construction. When produced using advanced roll forming machines, these systems deliver predictable results across diverse housing types. Light-gauge steel framing also integrates seamlessly with digital design tools, supporting accurate fabrication for modern steel-framed homes.
Meet Scottsdale at NASH 2026
Thanuja Ranawaka, Principal Engineer at Scottsdale, will present at the workshop at NASH 2026, covering the Scottsdale ecosystem, roll forming machine families, software, and global support services. Her session will highlight how roll forming technology enables smarter steel framing workflows and supports manufacturers looking to build with steel at scale. Attend the presentation to gain practical insight into light-gauge steel framing solutions built for housing.
Sponsoring Progress of Steel-Framed Homes
By sponsoring and participating in NASH 2026, Scottsdale reinforces its commitment to the future of steel-framed homes. Our involvement supports industry education while showcasing how integrated roll forming solutions help advance housing worldwide. We invite attendees to connect with us and explore how roll forming machines and steel framing can support their next phase of growth.
Building at Scale with Roll Forming Technology
As housing demands evolve, collaboration between associations like NASH and technology providers becomes critical. Scottsdale will continue to help the industry build with steel using efficient roll forming systems and proven light-gauge steel framing workflows. Together, we continue to shape the next generation of resilient, high-performance steel-framed homes.
