Pressure forming is a manufacturing process used to shape materials, typically metals or plastics, by applying high pressure. This technique involves placing a heated sheet of material into a mold and then using a press to force the material into the desired shape. The pressure ensures that the material conforms closely to the mold, resulting in precise and detailed parts.
This method is commonly used in industries such as automotive and aerospace, where components need to meet strict specifications. Pressure forming can produce lightweight yet strong parts, making it an efficient choice for creating complex shapes while minimizing waste.
