Although Cold Stamping could produce all kind of sheet metal parts it has a major limitation that presses can apply force only in vertical direction and if there are features to be formed in any other direction then it comes at the cost of complex multistage / multi-axis forming and eventually loss of productivity. Also there are issues of ugly shock lines, tool marks, spring back and localized thinning and stress concentration.

Thanks to Pascal's Law the Fluid Forming Technologies exert uniform normal pressure in any direction and thinning is spread more uniformly over wider area. All layers of sheet can be stressed well above the elastic limit so there is no residual spring back upon bending.

Considering the need of awareness in Industry  IMTMA is organizing a 4 hour webinar covering various Fluid Forming Technologies
