Formning

Stretch forming

Process Bending process with the workpiece clamped in two translationally movable clamps which draws the workpiece over a die to cause bending.

Stripe bending

Process Forming process where a strip of metal is incrementally fed out and bent in one plane.

Transfer molding

Process Plastic forming operation where the heated material is placed in a vacuum and then pressed into a mold.

Tube drawing

Process Forming machining in which the workpiece is drawn through a tapered shape with a center that reduces and transforms the cross sectional area.

Upset forging

Process Forging process where the workpiece end goes through one or more stages of deformation.

Vacuum forming

Process Forming process where a first plastic sheet is heated and then pulled down against a mold by vacuum.

Wipe bending

Process Bending processing in which the workpiece is clamped to a die while the tool bends it with a striking motion.

Wire bending single tool

Process Plastic deformation of metal wire where the wire is fed forward, bent in one or more steps and subsequently cut loose.

Wire drawing

Process Drawing process where the workpiece is fed into and drawn through a die with a beveled inner side so that a thinner thread is created.
