FluidForming will display its deformation process that precisely shapes sheetmetal into a pre-
defined geometry by using fluid under high pressure. The deformation process utilizes
water at pressures up to 60,000 PSI as the direct force- to-form, while maintaining absolute control of die sur- faces and thus eliminating die deflection.
By applying a uniform force
to the sheet, the fluid shapes
it into the form of the tool.
The process results in uniform distribution of sheet thicknesses and avoids abrupt changes in stress, ensuring high dimensional accuracy and stability. www.ffamericas.com
