Stretch Forming is a manufacturing process
in which sheet, extrusions, or formed profiles are wrapped around
dies to make parts into simple or complex contoured curves. The
process always involves stretching, bending, or both actions.The
aerospace industry utilizes these very accurate and repeatable
stretch forming presses to manufacture very important fuselage
skins for commercial and business aircraft, as well as the curved
profiles that comprise the aircrafts sub-structure or frame.
