Parts shaped like top hats, mixing bowls and rocket nose cones are easy enough to make, but producing large quantities of them typically means investing in a forming die—and doing deep draw stamping.
This can add significant costs to a project that might need only a handful of parts—and weeks or months to the delivery lead time. There are options: Hydroforming and metal spinning.
Have you evaluated these technologies and the techniques? Hydroforming, for example, takes several different forms and processes. You can learn a lot more about it in our recent article on the subject.
Have any tips and/or techniques about deep drawing and what works or does not work for you?
