Design for
Metal Forming

Proper spacing and depth prevent material thinning and cracking during the hydraulic forming process.

D1

Minimum Spacing

Maintain a distance of at least 3x the material thickness between the edges of adjacent dimples to prevent sheet warping.

D2

Forming Depth

Maximum dimple depth should not exceed 50% of the dimple diameter to avoid localized material failure.

D3

Edge Clearance

Keep dimples at least 1.5x their diameter away from any cut edge to prevent deformation of the outer geometry.

The
Forming Path

Our automated hydraulic forming cells ensure batch-to-batch consistency for institutional reinforced components.

Process Visualization
01

CAD Identification

Upload your CAD. Our system identifies concentric circles or depressions and prompts you to select dimple standards.

02

Pattern Optimization

The engine suggests pattern optimizations to maximize stiffness while minimizing material stress.

03

Hydraulic Pressing

Once confirmed, parts are loaded into our automated presses where precision dies execute the forming sequence.
