ACCURACY IN FORM
Flow forming achieves precise dimensions and uniform wall thickness, ensuring consistency across every part.
STRENGTH IN DESIGN
The process enhances mechanical properties, creating components that are both lighter and stronger than those made by conventional methods.
VERSATILITY IN APPLICATION
From aerospace structures to defense systems and industrial uses, flow forming supports a wide range of critical industries.
Flow forming is a highly precise metalworking process that enables the production of lightweight, high-strength cylindrical parts built for demanding applications in aerospace, defense, energy, and beyond. By gradually shaping metal over a mandrel with exceptional accuracy, the process produces components with superior mechanical properties and reduced material waste compared to traditional methods. ViDARR delivers flow formed parts ranging from ½” to 48” in diameter and up to 90” in length, ensuring flexibility across a wide range of mission requirements. Working alongside a trusted partner, we combine advanced engineering expertise with proven manufacturing techniques to deliver reliable, high-performance results that meet strict industry standards.
