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 ...

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that it has developed a unique dot forming technology that realizes high-precision shaping by combining laser, computer numerical control (CNC) and computer ...

Ultrasonic vibration-assisted metal forming combines high-frequency, low-amplitude oscillations with conventional forming processes to enhance material flow, reduce forming forces and improve surface ...

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 ...

The vacuum forming machine can form plastic sheets around objects to create a form. In the Maker Lab, we have a My Yard Formart 2 vacuum former and a Centroform SV 1217 vacuum former. Material Fees: ...
