“GLOBAL FIELD KNOWLEDGE” STRATEGY
Our goal: development of innovative manufacturing
solutions to reduce BtF and OVERALL part cost.
HF & SPF: forming solutions for sheet metal parts
HSF: combination of Hot Forming and Stretch-Forming for
Ti frames up to 6 meters. No residual stress for easy
machining. Very low NRC investment. Flexible.
LFW: manufacturing of NNS Ti pre-forms by combination of
bricks from standard plates. Solid state joining process,
fast, robust.
Combination of processes: HF + SPF / HSF + LFW
NEAR NET SHAPE (NNS) SOLUTIONS
