Casting is an ancient manufacturing process, but with continuous advancements in technology, the limitations of traditional casting methods have become increasingly apparent.Producing complex castings often requires 30 to 45 days just to create a mold. To achieve extrusion molding for different product specifications, traditional molding presses require not only a large number of molds but also incur high procurement and storage costs. Frequent mold changes during production consume substantial time, disrupting the production flow and severely impacting manufacturing efficiency. With the development of the manufacturing industry, moldless forming has emerged as an innovative metal forming process that is drawing increasing attention.
Advantages of Moldless Forming
Cost-Effectiveness
Moldless forming eliminates the need for large, expensive molds, significantly reducing manufacturing preparation time and tooling costs. This makes small-batch production and rapid prototyping more economically feasible.
High Precision
The core principle of moldless forming is to gradually stamp metal sheets using a controlled system to shape complex parts, producing high-quality components. This is especially important in industries with stringent precision requirements.
Environmental Friendliness and Sustainability
Compared to traditional stamping, moldless forming reduces material waste, contributing to sustainable manufacturing. Additionally, this technology is more adaptable to the integration of renewable energy, promoting the development of green manufacturing.
Wide Range of Applications
Moldless forming is applicable across various industries. In the automotive sector, this technology can be used to manufacture car body parts. In electronics manufacturing, it helps produce high-precision metal enclosures. In aerospace, moldless progressive forming offers an efficient solution for creating complex parts.
