In modern construction, roll forming machines have redefined how contractors approach steel framing technology. For curtain wall contractors and professionals fabricating walls and ceilings, these innovations deliver precision, speed, and efficiency unlike any traditional process. By integrating advanced roll forming equipment, including the KFD Framemaker 2025, KSE K35C, and FrameExtend 24, builders can fabricate complete walls and ceilings directly from digital designs. Together, these tools form an intelligent ecosystem for steel framing production that’s efficient, accurate, and scrap-free.
Industry-Leading Steel Framing Technology
Scottsdale Construction Systems and Knudson by Scottsdale have developed industry-leading steel framing technology designed to automate and enhance every step of fabricating walls and ceilings. The seamless integration between design software and roll forming machines enables digital-to-physical production, essentially 3D printing in steel.
The result? Every component is produced with exact dimensions, punched openings, dimples, and service holes, ready for assembly. For curtain wall contractors, this means each profile is fabricated, labeled, and sequenced automatically, ensuring every steel framing member fits perfectly into place without rework.
Roll Forming Machine Highlights
Walls and Ceilings Roll Forming Equipment
For walls and ceilings contractors, to fully leverage this steel framing technology, only three roll forming machines are needed:
KFD Framemaker 2025 Roll Forming Equipment
A multi-profile roll forming machine for fabricating nonstructural steel framing members, C-sections (studs) and U-sections (tracks), of non-load-bearing steel framing solutions in commercial and residential projects for partition walls, suspended ceilings, facades, and more.

KSE K35C Roll Forming Equipment
A roll forming machine designed to meet project needs for non-structural steel framing sections. The KSE K35C roll forming machine fabricated a variety of furring channels and resilient furring channel sections. Learn more about Furring Channels: Ultimate Guide to Benefits and Uses.

FrameExtend 24 Roll Forming Equipment
Also known as the Extension Sleeve Unit, is an auxiliary roll forming machine used to turn a preformed C-section into a smaller C-section that will fit inside the original part. The machine reduces the overall member’s dimensions, both in the web and flange, by approximately 2.5 mm, which results in a sleeve that can be slid inside the part with the original dimensions. See images below for additional dimensions and information.
The parts can be used to create telescoping (extendable studs) or to create boxed beam sections. A telescoping wall panel system expands fabrication possibilities for large-scale steel framing projects and custom assemblies. Boxed beam sections can be used for posts, traditional headers, and any other application where additional strength or a closed member is required.

Why Fabricating Walls and Ceilings Is Simple
Using Scottsdale’s steel framing technology, fabricating walls and ceilings is as simple as assembling LEGO pieces. The software handles every instruction, from design sequencing to member fabrication, so installers only need to follow labeled components. With automation guiding each stage, the process eliminates manual errors and ensures that every component matches the final design.
Fast, Efficient, and Accurate Steel Framing Solutions
Speed and precision define Scottsdale’s roll forming machines. By removing the need for rework, roll forming equipment completes production faster than manual fabrication. Each steel profile emerges ready for assembly, punched, swaged, and cut to 1/16 in. accuracy. Because all information flows digitally from software to machine, even complex walls and ceilings can be produced rapidly without compromising quality.
Sustainable and Scrap-Free Roll Forming Technology
In an era of sustainability, this steel framing technology minimizes waste. With intelligent software controlling production, less than 1% of material is lost during fabrication, and that remaining scrap is fully recyclable. For curtain wall contractors and builders focused on green initiatives, roll forming machines represent one of the most efficient and sustainable ways to deliver high-performance steel framing systems.
Intelligent Design Integration with Steel Framing Machines
The combination of design software and roll forming machines allows full panelization of walls and ceilings, from resilient channels and corner beads to custom framing profiles. Telescoping wall panels, accurate placement of dimples, and engineered deflection slots all come standard, ensuring every frame meets performance and architectural requirements.

Why Curtain Wall Contractors Should Invest in Roll Forming Equipment
If you’re a curtain wall contractor still relying on suppliers for fabricated steel framing components, it’s time to rethink your process. Owning your own roll forming equipment means controlling your timelines, quality, and profit margins. You’ll eliminate the delays and modifications that come with third-party supply and gain the ability to produce precise, panelized walls and ceilings in-house.
