“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
