Flowforming is an advanced rotary cold forming process that produces dimensionally precise, seamless components. By applying controlled pressure through rollers to a rotating preform positioned over a precision mandrel. As the rollers progressively deform the material, the part lengthens axially while wall thickness reduces in a controlled manner. Manufacturing of complex geometries with integrated features in a single operation becomes possible through flowforming.
This net-shape manufacturing approach delivers exceptional mechanical properties through work hardening, tighter tolerances than conventional forming methods, and design capabilities that enable part consolidation opportunities unavailable through stamping, casting, or welded assemblies.
NETFORM specializes in flowforming for automotive and industrial powertrain applications, leveraging proprietary processes to create innovative solutions that reduce weight, eliminate secondary operations, and deliver superior performance.
