Aluminium formability
Formability is one of the strongest properties of the light metal aluminium.
Our research and development engineers use modern equipment to carry out computer analyses and testing of sections formed by hot gas forming, hydroforming, stretch forming and bending. We do this because you want to create complex parts with a high degree of dimensional accuracy.
Additional machining
Profiles can be shaped so they require minimal machining after extrusion. But some form of processing is often necessary, and machining profiles are relatively inexpensive. Aluminium's malleability means that tool costs are competitive.
Hydroforming and bending for accuracy
With hydroforming, we can turn an extruded aluminium tube into a three-dimensional shape. Bending is another process that we use to create shaping accuracy.
