Deep Draw Forming

Hanmar is an industry leader in deep draw metal forming providing complex components in wide range of sizes, shapes and materials.

What is deep draw metal forming?

Deep draw metal forming, also known as deep drawing, is a sheet metal manufacturing process that involves transforming flat sheet metal in three dimensional shapes with significant depth.  The process is characterized by the progressive forming of the metal sheet into a die cavity through a series of steps.  This cold-forming technique is used to produce cylindrical as well as asymmetrical components such as cans, enclosures, stampings and domes.

Hanmar has over 40 presses with forming tonnage capability of up to 500 tons and bed sizes of 60 x 60 inches.

Advantages of Deep Draw Forming

• Complex Shape Forming – Deep drawing allows for the production of complex shapes with depth, including, cylindrical, conical, and asymmetrical shapes.

• Tight tolerances – Deep drawing allows for tight tolerances and precise dimensions, meeting stringent requirements for various industries including aerospace, automotive and defense.

• High production rates – Deep drawing is a high speed forming process, enabling efficient production rates. 

• Versatility in materials and material thicknesses – Deep drawing is compatible with a wide range of materials including aluminum, stainless steel, Inconel, and titanium.  It also can be applied to a variety of material thicknesses, ranging from thin sheet to thicker plates.
