what we do

Luxfer Superform  specializes in a variety of forming techniques ranging from Cavity, Bubble, Diaphragm and Back Pressure forming.   
                                                                                          
Across all techniques, we use the following method:

• A metal sheet is clamped and heated in a hot press.
• Increased air pressure is used to force the sheet against a single-surface form die to provide the required shape.
• Part is subsequently trimmed and other value-added processes incorporated as required.

This process is derived from one of our core strengths, which is the unique design capabilities we possess for SPF. We strive to work with our customers during the design phase to ensure the desired end result

is accomplished. Whether it be from a multi-piece assembly turned into a single forming, to a weight reduction exercise, utilizing our SPF technology helps achieve an array of solutions for your needs.

All tooling is design engineered in-house, utilizing Catia V5-V6 as well as tool proofing through our Finite Element Analysis Software (PAM-STAMP) ensuring feasibility of parts before entering the press! This enables Superform to produce parts and minimize tooling costs at a fraction of the time and price compared to conventional tool stamping dies.
