Traditional sheet metal forming practices required lots of physical force and effort to ensure that a sheet conformed to the shape that an engineer, or designer, desired. This work translated into the ...

Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

Roll forming is a continuous cold‐forming technique in which a steel strip is progressively bent by a succession of paired rolls to achieve a predefined cross‐section. Owing to its ability to produce ...

This version provides new capabilities for sheet metal forming process chain. AutoForm Engineering GmbH, the leading supplier of software solutions for stamping and BiW assembly processes, unveils its ...

The high volume of toy bears needed would be best made through a forming process. A mold with the design of a bear would be filled with liquid plastic, rubbery material. Once cooled, the mold is ...

Short cycle times and automated methods are key to meeting the high production rates being sought for the next generation of narrowbody commercial aircraft, advanced air mobility (AAM), unmanned ...

Current projections call for a doubling of the commercial aircraft fleet over the next 20 years. To accommodate this, production rates in 2019 for composites-intensive widebody jetliners vary from 10 ...
